Vegas? Pro editing? You're joking, right? Maybe if you think "offline editing" means you turned your camera off.
If you're a pro you're cutting with Avid. Period. Premiere Pro or Final Cut will do in a pinch but if you're using Vegas you might as well take your ass back to Youtube.
Also, I think it should be pointed out Sony didn't make Vegas, they bought it from Sonic Foundry.
Eclipse. I mostly use the usual Java plugins, Flex Builder, PHP development kit, EPIC, PyDEV and it handles the little bit of C/C++ I do without any complaints. If the RIM JDE plugin worked in Linux it'd never get closed.
I thought lame workarounds were par for the course when dealing with computers? Here's a list of just a few I go through on a daily basis:
My laptop's external monitor's randr setting is currently --above because --left-of breaks the Intel video driver (Xubuntu 8.1 it caused complaints but worked, 9.04 it's performance is on par with a P-100 sporting a Cirrus 1mb video card)
Every morning I have to open a terminal and ifconfig my network address because Network Manager refuses to save changes (which is a step up from 8.1, which wouldn't even save network settings)
I have my 2 Windows partitions mounted in/media and manually mount external drives there as there appears to be no rhyme or reason as to when (or if) they show up in "Places" or a save as/open dialog.
I don't know what the berry_charge kernel module does, but it doesn't charge a Blackberry so I had to dig out the AC adapter.
When working with vector graphics, I have Illustrator installed in an XP virtual machine. Believe it or not, this is faster and more usable than Inkscape.
If I want to commit, I need to exit and restart Eclipse if it's been open more than 10 minutes otherwise Subversive endlessly claims it's "Running..." while doing nothing
It's nice xfce4-mixer in 9.04 lets me use my scroll wheel on it's icon to raise/lower volume, although I preferred 8.1 letting me use the volume keys on my keyboard
Sure it's a pain and there are many more I'm forgetting, but at least it's not Windows:)
Bullshit.
When I can throw my Digisuite DTV into a Linux box and have it work I'll believe this, until then "Linux supports more devices (minus one) than any OS ever"
You're exactly right: That is most likely how America would implement socialized medicine. It's also the reason you're in this mess in the first place.
I live in Ontario (Canada). We have socialized medicine. I go the doctor of my choice and OHIP pays for it. I go to whatever hospital I need to, get whatever needs doing done and OHIP pays for it. I can have tests done at whatever lab is convenient for me and OHIP pays for it.
Are our waiting rooms full? Yes, for two reasons: Free systems are abused and people are stupid. Instead of using the second hour they're sitting in emergency to ponder whether or not they really need to be there, they go off on half-cocked rants and diatribes that Americans misunderstand and use to fuel the anti-socialized camps. Notice how neither reason was government inefficiency?
You mean, the battery location on my laptop is not appropriate ?
Your laptop doesn't use lead acid batteries, my UPSes do and frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Beats the hell out of Li-* blowing up my basement or several short outages (the norm here) causing memories in Ni-* batteries.
I guess China noticed how the EU keeps extorting Microsoft for a few billion a year, and figured they want some of that. I don't blame them, look at the price of fuel. Not too much longer and it'll make financial sense for us to make our own shoddy goods.
The advance I'm waiting for is a far more reliable and safe way of attaching devices to brains. Then the blind would be able to see etc. Of course the **AA and the DMCA might cause problems with that.
God damn! Could you imagine the consequences? The electrical impulses being fed into their brains could be arranged into a non-DRMable series of neurons by the limbic system! It would be madness! Only sure fire way would be to remove the hippocampus. You'd still bump into furniture, but at least you could watch movies.
I don't know if it's the same in the states, but in Canada cable HD is superior to satellite HD. They're limited by the amount of bandwidth they can send through their birds so whenever they add new HD channels they have to step on the ones already there a little bit harder (ie. rencode them at a lower bitrate). Bonus points if you can find one that actually properly retains the metadata for the AC3 stream.
Of course, this doesn't really matter as a disgusting number of people consider HD to be that cheap-ass 1366x768 LCD they bought at Walmart. It's also interesting to see the number of people working in other outlets (ie. The Source, formerly RadioShack in Canada) who merely reference the sticker that says "HD Ready" when I point out that 1366x768 isn't an ATSC resolution.
Way to completely ignore most of TFA. Just to help you get your head around it: (from TFA)
According to the lawsuit, Spiner recognized the visor as the one that had been sold by Christie's and told Moustakis that it wasn't the real deal. The actual visor had been sold by the actor himself some time ago.
Translation: Brent Spiner had the real one. Brent Spiner sold the real one. According to the transitive property, the buyer got ripped off.
Christie's spokesman Rik Pike stood behind the authenticity of the auction and said the disgruntled buyer's case had no merit.
Translation: What does Brent Spiner know, trust me, you bought the real one from us. (As an aside, does anyone think they deliberately chose this spokesman for his surname?)
[snip] after he brought it to a convention in August to have it autographed by the actor who played Data, Brent Spiner.
Translation: I bought something they claimed was X, turns out it's not, and I was informed of this standing in a line with an assload of people around me.
When you remove the Star Trek slant, it's a case of Person X selling something to Person Y claiming it's Object A when in actuality it's Object B. If you see nothing wrong with this, I have a Ming Vase I'd like to sell you for the bargain basement price of $50,000,000. I just have to go to the dollar store and pick it up.
And from your post:
Get a life! Real or not, I guarantee it won't have any mystical or special powers. It won't make your brain compute on the level of Data's. It won't make you a member of Star Fleet.
Who says he's looking for those things? Did you ever think maybe he wanted to own a small piece of a fond childhood memory? Even if he wants it to wear it in the bathroom and relive the moment when Data proved to Tasha Yar he was fully functional, it doesn't change the fact they sold him something that's not what they claimed it was.
It isn't an "investment".
Wrong again. I'd say it's an investment, just not one that returns monetarily. Believe it or not, there are many things like that in the world. Are you going to put off having children until you can get a guaranteed ROI?
We all read a PC Magazine article, that's what's wrong. I remember a few years ago when Windows 95 came out all their writers claimed it was worth selling your left arm, mother and first born child. I also seem to remember them taking a strip off BeOS for (as far as I could tell) being prettier and working better.
Slashdot Mirror
That's not very web 2.0y of you.
Is there a way I can enable this, like, sitewide by default, punished user or not?

Actually, CATV stands for Community Antenna Television. Basically a bunch of people going in and getting a big antenna for better reception. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television And North America's first cable TV system was actually in a city, not a rural area. Trust me, I live here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelph_Ontario#History
I'm guessing you weren't around in the 80's when the ONLY home PC was an Apple.
I'm guessing you weren't either.
Why go to all the trouble of creating something when you can wait for someone else to do it then jump on the bandwagon and make some "me too" money?
So has anybody started a Facebook group yet?
Maybe you should be a little more discerning about where you work.
Android is now an un-word
Why are people getting so worked up about this? It's not like the information applications can access has been posted here for years or anything...
How many times did they have to refresh the acid 3 test page? I just tried 4 times in Firefox 3.0.11 and got 4 different scores.

it becomes lose lose, as they lose both ad revenue, and viewers. It becomes lose lose win, since they get to blame piracy in the end.

I doubt that'll happen, they don't have any oil.
