I think you mixing formats into the discussion. Flash players still suck. Yes the old embedded media players (realplayer/windows media player/(totem)) sucked even more (since they forced a certain UI). But today they are better at handling streaming than any flash player i've met. They probably rely on the same code from flash itself;). Flash based video get out of sync, has horrible time-scroll(bar?) handling and sucks even more on anything that isn't windows. Flash is not the future. It's the same as if everybody had to use the same browser.
HTML5 video element is probably our best hope. But i hope firefox developers don't get trapped in "we can handle streaming ourself" and avoid using platform libraries (Gstreamer,Directshow,quicktime). Or maybe gstreamer as an option on all platforms since it's cross platform and can already handle these issues very well;).
Somebody else mentioned it. html/css/js/js-canvas/svg/html-video-element should be the way forward. Lets hope that combo wins;).
Yes, tagged bookmarks have been there for a few years (and now finally in firefox).
But really - firefox looks like crap in a gnome desktop. Also for me - there are no extensions i really must have other than webdeveloper (rare) so i just run ff when with webdeveloper when needed.
But yes, many people will prefer firefox because of extensions.
So why would SUN buy MYSQL - discussion!

Sun Buys MySQL
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Read the subject. I thought SUN was currently bundling postgresql guess that wasn't good enough... So up for discussion why buy mysql?
* Well you can't buy postgresql.....(Who to buy?)
* Wanting to hurt redhat
* You get ownership of the code (Since mysql has)
The "hurting redhat" is more for journalists "lets find a conflict thinking"... What else are the reasons?
Universities doesn't just churn out Java & C# developers. At least not in copenhagen:)
I've only had two courses that had specific language requirements for assignments was "Functional programming" (ML) and "Object Oriented Programming & Design" (JAVA). You don't learn to master a language - they are just a tool. You learn how to pick the right tool. (That includes knowing what it does and how it's different).
Exactly... I mean every tried using styles in oowriter?
Horribly hard... 5 different categories...+ a dropdown with about 6 different choices. That's 5*6=30 different views of styles. Also using the dropdown and button/tab in combination forces you to move the pointer nearly the height of oowriter window (Great in maximized mode!). Greatly eases comfort.... Stupid...
By default oowriter also includes at least 30 differentstyles.. stuff like the very important "List 1,List 2,List 3,List 4,List 5" Must have those!!!! I mean... i could easily see myself need a "List 3" in this post! And you can't delete them in the UI!!!
Styles/Content formatting should be a first class citizen in any word processor. Just like latex;)
if it's the rt2500 that isn't working then it's most likely isn't network-manager, but your driver. Please complain about the correct part(s);)

TextMate
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
As macbook pro owner, (Now running linux again). Textmate is great - it is the only thing i really miss from OSX:).
With textmate I learned advanced features much faster, compared to vim/emacs (being a long time vim user). I just ended up being more productive.
I think textmate is a perfect example of why following UI guidelines even help hackers. For some reason we just put up with emacs/vim being so diffucult to learn. Everything that is different from what we are used is an abomination. It is only because of habbits that you keep doing using it. Really!
PS: Textmate is not an emacs clone, and GPL can't cover software. Patents is only in the US:)
To be honest, the widespread porting of the lucene engine(beagle backend) is the highest amount of forking i've ever seen.
There exists a port for every language, it just doesn't make sense. The basic algorithms for searching, and storing indexes hasn't changed for quite some time.
In the digital library space there even exists quite old (10 years) open source software such as zebra[1] which can handle large indexes fast. There are actually open standards[2] for information retrieval (IR), but nobody in the open source desktop space seem to know about it(?).

Some countries do have growth but have not increased their energy use.....since well 1970....
Worked for me. All you really need is email. Other tools can add the rest I think.
Please read the article. Rage uses opengl 2.x on Pc and Mac. Opengl 3.0 is not an issue for rage.
It sucks a bit yes..
'Just' change your workflow.
Find the file in nautilus and drag it wherever you need the file. Often it's faster, sometimes it isn't. But it's a bug if it doesn't work.
Not the best solution - but try do it if you can.
Me? My brain is still stuck going for the filepicker first.
the gnome file manager also has an awesome bar like firefox now!
That's wrong correct. It's epiphany - the gnome browser.
That's two diffent screensavers.
The f-spot one shows the pictures markes as favorites. Which is a bit limited :/.
The pictures one shows all pictures from whatever XDG_PICTURES_DIR is set to.
Default is XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures".
Also, f-spot does have a 'hidden' tag that hides any pictures marked as such unless you explicitly choose them.

A bit harsh...
That should be "code compiled under gcc gpl v3 has to be gpl v3 as well"
I can claim (without having read the license) that code compiled under the gpl3 has to be gpl3 can't be true. Come on, common sense applies?
Also, you can't relicense GPL code to BSD without owning the copyright, which in this case the FSF has. So Apple can't do that.
Troll?
That was live video of a single spot. This isn't quite the same...

currently studiying Computer science So I could have forgotton how hard it was (is?) :)
;) )
Anyway... K&R's The C programming Language
1) Cheap
2) Most importantly it's clear,short and to the point.
This is believe, suits motivated students better than crappy 1000+ pages books ( American style!
The first chapter(s) are fine as an introduction.
As a plus they can actually use it to look stuff up, instead of just tutorial oriented books.
It's clear and short. And gives you the basics
Ofcourse you could argue that the problem is teaching them C, but i don't believe it matter that much. Really.
It's already a standard, jabbber. No need to reinvent the wheel.
To be honest, the widespread porting of the lucene engine(beagle backend) is the highest amount of forking i've ever seen.

SPARC has more than one register.
I'm actually developing new sites with AxKit.
NO, SUN employes is not excluded.
NO, the board does NOT set the technical direction for GNOME.
Troll...?
Platform independence works in C too.
Check out abiword. They are doing each platform in their native GUI as a seperate frontend. Which actually produces a better result.
IE. Firefox doesn't look like an windows application, and certainly doesn't look/work like an gnome/gtk application. You get some crappy hybrid.
Yes, not inline(!) though. Which most other mailers seem to use.
mdk doesnt use Yum, but urpmi.
Just associate 'gurpmi' with the mime type for RPM in your favorite web browser.
