Did you try fullscreening flash video? Flash video plays just fine on my machine until I try to fullscreen it. Somehow Adobe hasn't quite figured out how to take advantage of hardware acceleration on Linux. I'm not sure why because no media players have a problem fullscreening video on my machine.
Wow. Thanks. I never knew that. Now only if you could select photos from a series like rawstudio and prioritize them. It seems kind of funny to have such an advanced gui in UFRaw but with a batch interface that is CLI only.
That's the great thing about the SVN version of rawstudio. It has a denoise tool, LensFun integration, including controls for vignetting and color aberration correction. There is also a channel mixer now.
What about rawstudio and ufraw? I have used all three and I can say that while I like the features that rawtherapee has I like it the least overall. Everything is so slow that working on a RAW image takes forever. Rawstudio has the least amount of features but is very fast and the SVN version has added a few very important features. It is currently my favorite. UFRaw is nice but the interface isn't as clean as rawstudio and there is no batch processing. Every image has to be opened separately.
The problem with ReiserFS is that Reiser3 is old and lacking features compared to other filesystems like XFS and EXT4. Rieser4 isn't a part of the kernel and probably never will be so that could end up being quite problematic, especially in the future.
That would be way too implausible, even for the Spider-Man movies; a high school kid develops something that material scientists would take years to create in a high-tech lab if they could at all?
Are you listening to yourself? Mechanical webshooters are implausible for a high schooler to create but it's perfectly plausible for a human to gain spider attributes from a bite from a radioactive spider? Give me a break. I think the latter is far more implausible. I think someone has had there nose in comics for far too long.
For three or four such freak occurrences to occur within a single story just strains the suspension of disbelief too far...
Are you kidding me? The Spiderman movies are about a freak who dresses up in a spider suit, shoots webs out of his wrists, and saves the world! If you didn't have to suspend disbelief to watch even a minute of any of the 3 Spiderman movies then you need to see a head doctor.
If so, I gotta disagree, in fact I think many of the discipline problems we see today in kids is because we've "spared the rod" so to speak.
As someone who grew up in a time when it was ok to be hit as a child I gotta disagree with you. Of everyone I grew up with the most stable and well adjusted of my friends were the ones who were not hit as children. I would have agreed with you when I was an adolescent because I was hit when I was a child and I thought I was fine for the longest time. As it turns out childhood abuse and neglect can rear its head much later in life. My personal opinion now is that if you have to hit a child to discipline them then you lack real parenting and problem solving skills. Resorting to violence is just a symptom of these deficiencies.
They tried to tell me my son needed Ritalin and that he had ADHD because he acted up in class and wouldn't pay attention. I took him home, busted his little butt and things were fine from then on.
So you traded medication for physical abuse? It may work well while he is a child but he's probably going to need those meds when he's older now.
Alrighty, enough sarcasm. Why is it that there's always at least one guy in every crowd without any empathy, but with plenty of (wrong) answers?
Because lacking empathy is a common trait amongst some personality disorders like narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder and as the article noted mental health issues have skyrocketed. It makes perfect sense.
I've not actually tested on an Intel 945 (though I do have a spare system that has one - possible weekend project oncoming . . . ). I have tested with several Nvidia and ATI cards though (a 7300GT, a 7600GT, and an ATI HD4200 and several others going back further - those 3 are the freshest though). One thing that I have noted while trying to solve the problem is that it often seems to be users on DVI outputs who notice the skipping. Analog output users don't notice it as often. Could be some sort of timing issue.
I am not using DVI so maybe that is the issue. The other thing that may make a difference is the CONFIG_HZ option in the kernel. I have mine set to 300 which is supposed to be better for multimedia because 300 is divisible by both 50 and 60 (PAL and NTSC Hz respectively).
Don't get me wrong I still use the system, and I use Linux servers heavily at work where they can sit in the background quietly chugging away (polish doesn't matter for servers:)). I just that for certain tasks at home on a desktop system it can feel kinda like trying to fit a square peg into a square hole with rounded corners;).
Oh I definitely agree. Some simple things end up being a pain in the ass on Linux but then some things I do on Linux are damn near impossible on Windows so it's a trade off that I'm willing to make.
For my video player I use VLC. It's good - lots of codec support, but I get *minor* screen tearing with it and every other video player. This has been tested on multiple computers and with multiple video cards. It's not immediately obvious, and when trying to fix it I usually have to switch to a fast scene and look closely to tell if it's still there, but it is a problem.
I hear this a lot but it never happens to me. I am using gnome-mplayer with an Intel 945 which isn't exactly a powerhouse video card. Perhaps it is a configuration issue, or a distro issue, or just a case of not using the latest version. I don't know what it is but I haven't had any tearing a a while.
Compiz has problems too. A lot of their animations just aren't smooth. For example, when you drag a window and it does it's "bendy/swingy" animation, it looks fine, but there's a noticeable disconnect between when it stops shaking and when it snaps back into a static window. Such things are usually completely smooth and unnoticeable on other OS's, and Compiz comes CLOSE, but it still lacks the polish.
Again my Intel renders all the animation fast and smooth. I'm not sure why it works so well for me and not for you and others.
Font's are a huge problem too. Out of the box Ubuntu looks horrible, because the native Xorg fonts are terrible for desktop usage. I used to always switch them to Windows fonts immediately, but recently Google released their Droid font set that's freely useable and it looks just as good - you just have to install it and setup your desktop with it yourself.
That could be your issue right there...Ubuntu. I don't know because I don't use it. To me fonts on Linux are superior to Windows fonts. In fact I can enable cleartype but it looks like hell compared to native font rendering , especially light text on a dark background.
Most everything I need is there, and most all of it works, but it's just a little rough around the edges. I still like it,
Despite the fact that everything you have complained about works for me I still have to agree to a degree. There are still some rough spots that turn up every once in a while but what I like about Linux is that those rough spots are always being worked on and things always improve. It's a constant process.
I will not admit I'm wrong. Avowed atheists were only a small number. Blaming atheists for the de-christianization of France shows a lack of understanding of the French revolution. The backlash against Catholicism was about the power structure not the existence of God. You framed your argument in a way to make it seem like de-christianization was about religion when it was really about politics. Most people involved with the de-christianization were still believers and the atheists themselves were rounded up and executed before all was said and done. Maybe that's difficult for you to understand because it involves a deeper understanding of the French revolution than pulling a few questionable quotes from a Wikipedia article.
There is nothing in that article that suggests atheists were responsible for the destruction of the Church in France. You just pulled that out of thin air. In fact very few people considered themselves atheists at that time. It's a common practice in history to claim that someone who is against your particular religion and its power structure is inherently an atheist but that doesn't make it true.
Generally its pretty unlikely an American will ever face an international court for stuff done at home, the US govt has been adamant on that, but even if you did, the european courts have a very modern set of evidence laws that make the US ones look draconian. (Ie afaik, American courts seem to permit entrapment by undercover agents for some reason)
What courts are you referring to? After witnessing the trial of Amanda Knox in Italy I would beg to differ. Several pieces of evidence introduced in that trial would not have been admissible in American courts. In fact that trial gave me a new found respect for the American judicial system. With that said I agree it is highly unlikely that an American will ever have to face a foreign court for crimes committed on American soil.
If the book is like the rest of the examples given in the review all I have to say is "boo hoo". It's just another rant by someone who laments the commercialization of the internet like a child who had his playground destroyed. After reading his opinion on Linux he has absolutely no credibility in my eyes anyway. Anyone who says that Linux is no good because it is just a copy of UNIX is entirely missing the point of Linux, the innovations of Linux, and the progress of Linux. It's as if people like him think that Linux of today and a UNIX of 30 years ago are the same thing. If you think that then you haven't been paying attention.
That's an extremely naive view. Sharing digital content over the internet was happening with or without Napster. IRC and Usenet were used to share files before Napster was a twinkle in anyone's eye. What changed was better video and music compression, larger hard drives, and more people on the internet.
think the real problem is that all the kids that watched star wars when they were little grew up to be cynical assholes.
No, the the new trilogy was really that bad. The review was spot on. The story made no fucking sense at all, the characters were boring as hell, and the whole setup was so convoluted you didn't even WANT to follow what was going on. Maybe that was what Lucas was going for. It had you begging for the stupid, over-choreographed lightsaber battles.

Actually both ways are now accepted, although the former was not considered correct when I was in grade school.
The only reason he is homeless is because he claims he cannot live in his home because of the WiFi signals.
Great comeback. You should join a debate team.
Only a comic dork debates the merits of how or how many people are endowed with superpowers in a movie. What's the cutoff? 2?

You may think it is funny but some of us actually had to endure this kind of punishment as children.
