Why waste CPU time and lower quality, why not just stick with MPEG2?
I was about to ask the same thing myself. DVD-writers are dirt cheap and blank DVDs cost about the same as blank CDs - surely there's no one out there who's ripping to divx because they can't afford a DVD burner??
DVD Shrink can make this all very easy, as well as allowing you to put it on a single-layer DVD+/-R/RW to play back on a settop box. IIRC, it can remove the UOPs so you can go straight to the feature - maybe it also allows you to reauthor the menus or make the main feature the first play PGC (instead of the menu). Any users here who can clarify?
Yep, that's all correct - you can even do fancy stuff like compress the credits more, giving better quality to the feature. And the quality is amazingly good - it easily beats any XviD rip I've ever made, and is often indistinguishable from the original.
It's faster and easier than transcoding to divx and it even runs perfectly under WINE - what more could you ask for??
On the bank sites that I know, one still uses the first system I had seen: you need a contract number (different from your bank account number) and a password, and a number that can only be used once, taken from a printed list sent by registered mail. (And it does have to be the next number in the list, not just unused number).\
The problem with this is that it's a security vs. ease-of-use issue: it's very safe in principle, but in practice it's going to cause a lot of difficulties and problems (want to pay a bill when you're at work, and you don't have your one-time pad on you? Well, tough luck!) Users hate this: if my bank adopted this sort of scheme, I'd switch banks.
My bank only requires a username and password to access the site; however, for any transaction the user needs to enter their date of birth using an online javascript keypad using a mouse. This should be effective against keyloggers and also against casual internet cafe snoopers - they need to see both your username/password and your DOB. It's quite a decent system, really...
You know, I'd be very surprised if preloading makes any difference. My experience with Office these days in minimal - I only had WinXP and Office XP running for a couple of days on a small partition just to see how MS was getting along, but my observations were of a very speedy boot time (ultra fast, like 10-15 secs from Grub to desktop). Even if there was preloading, I think booting from cold and launching Word would have been faster than launching Writer from the desktop.
As I said before, I wish I could praise OOo - I firmly believe in OSS and all my own software is GPL'd... I just think OOo is terribly bloated and slow, and is not better than MS Office in any way except in terms of licensing and ideology. Mind you, since I don't use either on a regular basis my impressions could be wrong...:-)
My 1Gb Samsung Yepp has all that, plus line-in MP3 recording and WAV voice notes from the microphone.
Where did you get this from?? I did a quick google and can't find anyone in Australia selling it apart from ebay dealers (who are only selling the 512Mb model)...
How's the OGG playback with it?
The marketing department was obviously boarded up in their offices until the last minute.;-)
*sigh*... Samsung has never worked out how to market their products:-( Loved the Specifications section, where one of the specs is "Luxurious design"...
If it takes me 40 minutes to download and compile some package just so I could watch a DVD on Gentoo, thank you very much. I'd rather go with point&click. My freedom is limited with my time, and Linux requires much more time than alternatives.
Hang on... you're complaining about linux wasting your time and you're running Gentoo?!?
Actually, after moving my wife from a 2.4 to a 2.6 kernel, it seems that none of her removable devices are recognized. Yes, udev
Did you do this manually, or did you upgrade your distro? You see, those nice people who make distros have generally got the udev intricacies all worked out nicely. Hell, most USB devices just appear on GNOME or KDE desktops when they're plugged in, now - it's pretty neat stuff.
But if you tried to do it yourself, well, you probably should have used a bit more caution before you took an enormous upgrade leap. Or you could have just used devfs, which still works fine even if it doesn't have the power of udev.
Startup times don't matter for word processing programs? I find that hard to believe. If you open and close documents (such as email attachments) all day long, startup times are VERY important.
Yes, but unfortunately the startup times in TFA were very far removed from normal experience. 30 seconds to start Word on a 2.2Ghz Celeron with a 5400 RPM HDD?!? I think not! The last version of Word I tested was that provided in Office XP, and that opened in sub 1 second times on my Athlon 1.6Ghz system. There's something botched with this guy's Word installation - he said himself in the write up that he's "recently noticed it seemed slow"... possibly he should clean up whatever viruses he's got and try again.
In the Real World (TM) OOo is a dinosaur compared to MS Office. It doesn't worry me - I use LyX for all my work - but it's saddening that OSS can be this bloated.
(Disclaimer: I dislike MS and I've been instrumental in getting my University to promote and provide OOo for students. However, if both MS Office and OOo were OSS and free, there's no way I could ever recommend OOo)
Contemporaneous scientists did not challenge Galileo; the Church did.
Sort of. Actually, it was Galileo who challenged the church, and got seriously burnt as a result.
In fact, Copernicus, one of the leading astronomers of the day, was in total agreement with Galileo.
You do realise that Copernicus and Galileo were not contemporaries, don't you?? And that Copernicus was a Church Canon and barely an astronomer? *sigh* I guess I'd better clear up a few common misconceptions...
Basically, Galileo was an intensely arrogant scientist who was guilty of quite a few of the sins that TFA talks about - his argument that the tides were evidence for the heliocentric model is possibly one of the most embarrassing fudges in the history of science. His whole problem was that there was no direct evidence that the Earth goes around the Sun, and in fact there was evidence against it in that there was no observable stellar parallax. There was also an observationally equivalent geocentric model where all the other planets orbit the Sun, which in turn orbits the Earth - this provided all the "simplicity" of the heliocentric system (although calling Copernicus' system simple is a joke!) but also kept the Earth stationary, fitting in with the available scientific evidence.
The church - while perfectly prepared to accept that certain parts of the Bible had to be interpreted as allegorical - was not going to do this for those sections that dealt with a stationary Earth/moving Sun until there was hard evidence that it was incorrect. Galileo, arrogant bastard that he was, ignored this lack of evidence and tried to fabricate his own, working both himself and the church into a corner and directly insulting the Pope in the process, until the only way for the church to save face was by bringing him before the inquisition.
You'll note that Kepler, who was Galileo's contemporary, was a firm believer in a heliocentric system all his life and was able to publish many works based upon it, without ever falling into trouble with the church. Galileo vs. the Church was a personal war; unfortunately, it placed Science and religion in a conflict which was completely unnecessary and which has never been resolved.
Some Linux distros have improved on the sudo issue. Ubuntu comes to mind. At least if you do something from the gui that requires sudo, it pops up a enter password dialogue, similar to OS X.
I've been recently trying out Ubuntu, and this behaviour - for both Ubuntu and OSX - is something that really worries me. The problem is that both OSes, in order to simplify things for their users, allow sudo to operate without a password for a set amount of time (15 mins in the case of Ubuntu, not sure what it is on OSX) after it's been used once. It would be trivial to write a script that when run, forks into the background and repeatedly tries to run, every 5 mins or so, "sudo [insert terrible command/script of your choice here]"... e.g. "sudo rm -rf/" would go down well, but you could also open ports, create back doors, do anything at all.
Of course, most of the time it would fail, but should the user decide they want to install some software, or change the system time, or whatever - anything that requires the use of sudo - then they're compromised. It makes viruses a real threat under *nix, and I think it's irresponsible and stupid. Having a root/administrator account is not a difficult concept to understand, when you explain it in terms of security.
When Ubuntu (and others) first came out with root not being enabled, I was not pleased. I was a heavy su user at the command line.
That's easy to fix: just do "sudo passwd", enter the root password of your choice, and away you go. And if you're like me, you disable the global sudo thing at the same time...
by definition (based on the test in the parent article) all of those Macs are connected to the internet
Actually, this is a RTFA issue - the/. summary was so far off the mark it's not funny. The MacDaily article was talking about two things: First, a press release from Wizzard Software:
"In a press release on Friday, Wizzard Software explained why they believe the Macintosh market is important as they prepare to release AT&T Natural Voices for Apple's Mac OS X:"
In this quoted press release Wizzard Software then explains that the Software Publishers Association (SPA) estimates 16% of computer users use macs. That probably has a lot to do with software sales, and obviously with Windows piracy rates enormously high the figure is highly skewed towards any other platform that actually sells software - i.e. the Mac.
The MacDaily article then goes on to talk about a completely unrelated piece of news:
"Also, yesterday, Winn Schwartau, one of the country's leading experts on information security, infrastructure protection and electronic privacy, summed up his first month's experiences in his conversion from Windows to Mac:"
Where Win Schwartau makes the point that there are no viruses or spyware for the Mac, which he thinks is great.
These two items are unrelated; however, the guys at MacDaily linked the two in the headline: "16-percent of computer users are unaffected by viruses, malware because they use Apple Macs" - which obviously suggested a causal link to the weird Mac propagandist who posted the story to/....
... and how exactly is that going to work with things like Google searches?
Well, you could always use an anonymous proxy if you're that concerned... You could also block the cookie that allows google to track a user and their past requests.
If you do block the cookie, and if your ISP only keeps your IP address info for six months or less, then Google or anyone else will never be able to link the IP requesting the search back to who you are after this time.
Anyway, what the hell are you searching for that several hundred million teenage boys around the globe aren't doing too - terrorism, bombs, sex, drugs, crime... I bet there's so much noise for searches like that that it could never be sorted through...
The "root" explanation and any sort of acronym-based exoplanation are almost certainly urban legend
I've always rather liked the "root" explanation - it fits with the hacker ethos rather nicely, and I can see how it would arise and spread throughout the community. I'm much more sceptical of any game based abreviation, but I can imagine that an exclamation like "woot!" is pretty easy to come up with for many different areas.
Almost no words came into English as acronyms, but people love to imagine such origins.
Don't know where words like scuba, nimby, Anzac, laser, led and wysiwyg came from, then...:-)
Woot was invented by pencil-and-paper gamers, it wasn't originally oline speak. It's first use was a pleased exlamtion of "what?!?" through a mouthfull of Cheetos, and sort of caught on.
Eh? The Jargon File would disagree - see the entry for w00t:
"An interjection similar to "Yay!", as in: "w00t!!! I just got a raise!" Often used for small victories the speaker dies not expect to be of special interest to anyone else. Some claim this is a bastardization of "root", the highest level of access to a system (particularly UNIX), originated by script kiddies as a 133tspeak equivalent of "root", and said as an exclamation upon gaining root access. Others claim it originated in the Everquest multiplayer game as an abbreviation of "wonderful loot". Still other claim it on originated on IRC as the "Ewok victory cheer"] Adj. w00table has the sense of "cool" or "nifty". This is one of the few leet-speak coinages to have crossed over into non-ironic use among hackers."
I have to ask - why, then, would you not simply use self-contained config files?? The fact that gconf files are XML and that they're handled by a central daemon is of dubious merit, to say the least. From my own limited experience, gconfd loads all config files even if you're just running one application and chews up uneccessary processor and memory in the process...
Despite the superficial similarity with the registry, your entire desktop does not break when a single gconf file goes wrong.
Our experiences would differ on this, I think... One mis-formed database prevented any gconf-dependant app from starting. Perhaps they've changed it since I've used it last?
Only when the gconf daemon itself b0rks do you have a minor problem.
I've solved the problem by avoiding any application that uses gconfd, but it annoys me in the same way that that spawn (no pun intended) of Satan, kdeinit, annoys me with KDE. It's just bad design, and it's embarrassing...
Crap. If he's the head of Intel, he ought to know how to give his kid a non-privileged account, and never to give her the root password. That in itself will kill most spyware...
At the very least, you could make the kid clean the spyware off herself, teach her how to do it and what to look out for in future...
Huh? Like many agnostics and atheists I dislike all religion.
Erm... I don't think you know what an agnostic is, then. As an agnostic, I may dislike people's expression of religion (think: fundamentalists of any format), but I don't dislike religion per se - after all, the whole point of being agnostic rather than atheist is that you admit that there's the chance those religions might be right!
But regardless, I'd say that a lot of religions do a pretty good job of advocating a set of decent moral values - it's just a pity that most people who claim to follow those religions - and many who actually lead them - are completely and utterly immoral...
You're kidding, right? A post that praised Cyrix chips got modded 5, Insightful?!?
Guess that says something about the average age of/.ers these days - anyone around at the time would remember how attrocious those bloody chips were. I should know - I wasted good money on them:-( Those were chips that were cheap in every way...
