WMP10 plays back WM9 720p content with no skipped frames. CPU usage averages around 80%. My gfx card is a Radeon X800XL AGP. The resolution of the video I've been trying with is 1280x720.
1080p video means skipped frames: 1440x1080 is too much. My monitor's resolution is 1280x1024, so I'll be avoiding such demanding video.
VLC doesn't seem to want to play these videos - I suppose I'll need to update codecs or something equally exciting.
This is also the same as the linux one that I can't remember the name of IIRC (I keep dipping in and out of linux, when I get sorted with another machine I will put some flavour back on my laptop but until then I want to play games and I have the windows versions so still need it). Konqueror is it?
Yes, Konqueror does this. It loads components which perform tasks such as showing a PDF, a directory, or a web page, and put their drawing/interacting area inside its window.
Those with filenames beginning with dsc* are from the phone and are the first in each pair.
I think the quality of the phone camera is fine, but it's obviously still a toy compared to a 'proper' camera, even when the latter is in the hands of someone who doesn't know the first thing about photography.
if a thread crashes because of a div/0 or a missing NULL pointer check and the stack trace is clean there's a very good change that you can susspend the thread with little or no sideeffects (with good resource tracking it's closer to none).
I've never heard of this being done. Please let us know how to perform this magic.
Agreed, but also the 'least destructive' option should be the default (the one that happens when you press return or space), and should be bottom-right, so it's easiest to hit. At least I _think_ it's easiest to hit.
It's possible to debate which button is the least destructive in a dialog box which has an 'accept' or 'savechanges' button and a 'cancel' button. If you've just spent 5 minutes making settings and then press cancel by accident, you're going to be annoyed, but if you accept by accident, is that better? It depends whether you made only one setting by mistake and remember which one it was.
Of course, in many settings dialogs in Gnome, there is no 'accept' button - settings changes are immediate, so if you change your mind and want to go back to what you started with, tough luck. That's unless that 'feature' was rethought while I wasn't looking.
You seem remarkably keen to provide justification for these atrocities. I submit that you find yourself unable to deal with the guilt felt by any normal human on having any association, however slight, with the perpetrators of these crimes against humankind.
I have the same sound card. I gave up trying to make it work in Windows. Every time I played anything through the digital out, I got an instantaneous reboot. With Linux, there was no installation to do and the card has always worked perfectly.
I think this is a Terratec problem. The driver wasn't signed by MS a couple of years ago, and still wasn't a couple of months ago. That means it hasn't been through the quality labs thing. Why not? Won't Terratec pay for that? Are they afraid to, because it doesn't work? I asked Terratec what was up with my card but received no response. That was years ago.
Happened to me on a site called slashdot. I used to be just 'rikkus', but I forgot to change my registered email address before it was no longer valid and I'd forgotten my password. Now I have no way to retrieve it. Oops. I prefer the 'pet's name' type questions, even though I've never actually had a pet.
What amazed me when watching some 'MSDN TV' videos was that many of their developers work in tiny windowless offices. I wonder if the term 'stir crazy' features in many lunchtime chats.
Another vote for Mantis here. We've been using it for over a year and it's been great. It's fast, runs nicely on Apache/Win32, and is easy to use. It was also easy to hack the code a bit, so that it suited our needs a little better. I'd never touched PHP before and it was easy to see where to tweak.

I run Linux on a 1Hz machine with 1 byte of RAM. Works fine, though loading Firefox is a bit slow.
Updating VLC got the WM9 video working. Interestingly, VLC uses around 90% CPU, vs. around 80% for WMP10. Thanks for the info!

My Athlon 1800+ (1.5Ghz) seems to cope fine when playing back HD video. Am I missing something?

It's not that difficult to figure out: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=63066& cid=5879462
How do you know it evaporated? We could have been sucked into it and come out of the other side!

I took some pictures of identical scenes using a Sony Ericsson W800 camera phone and an old Olympus C2000-Z 'proper' digital camera.
I've dumped the pics here: http://www.zen86135.zen.co.uk/W800vsC2000Z/

GBP 2 a month line rental? I thought their cheapest was GBP 11. Or were you exaggerating?

Isn't it faster to actually ask your processor for cosine these days, rather than do a table lookup?
See parent. Grandparent is misinformed.
You still can, at Fopp (flash-only site!), in the UK.

Wouldn't hijacking also have to involve locking out the owner and changing the router's password?

I use SFTP.
The nicest Windows client I've found is FileZilla. It supports FTP, FTP over SSL and SFTP.

Komplett are European and have great customer service. I'm in the UK, so I use http://www.komplett.co.uk/
.so, .ie and .nl
They also have komplett.no,
I also use Ebuyer, who've been mentioned before.

But this actually happens in Gnome applications. Dialog buttons are the wrong way around.
