I finally got it to work after manually patching a failed hunk and editing some sources and Makefiles.
I have to say, this app is really nice. The thumbnails zoom onto the screen, but they show up as black if you haven't viewed the window since you started metacity. This shouldn't be a problem if you run the patched metacity from the start.
And for those who don't know, the keybinding is Alt+Tab.
Martin, thanks for bringing even more eyecandy to Linux. You rock:)
"Browsing the Internet, e-mail, or most of the things we do today with a wireless network of computers -- those are sporadic communications," says Eaton. "If you drop a packet of data due to interference, it gets recovered."
"If you're watching digital video wirelessly and a data packet drops, you're going to notice picture degradation," says Eaton.
What are they going to transfer the digital video over? And chances are, that'll be TCP, which should automatically send the packet, right?
Unless it's analog video, then that would be different. Although our family has a 2.4GHZ wireless video transmitter thingy, I haven't noticed any signal degradation due to the microwave...
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, DON'T READ, MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. And moderators, please read before modding down:)
The community of Linux users and developers is held together by pride and the thrill of working toward a common goal of a universal, free (or at least relatively inexpensive), elegant, bug-free or bug-resistant alternative to Windows, the world's dominant computer operating system.
This line reminded me of the whole Smith/Neo thing, and about the Architect and the whole balancing the equation stuff. Maybe Linux was created to balance the monopoly of Windows? But if so, what happens if Windows dies? Will developers lost their goal since their main target is dead, or will Linux continue to be stronger?
I bet you didn't know that there are TWELVE versions of Karaoke Revolution scheduled in Japan, with (I'm sure) many more coming?
Wrong. I assumed that there will be many versions coming, as there are many different DDR mixes containing different songs. What gave you the idea that I wasn't informed about Japanese games? And, yes, TIME would not be a very good place for what's hot in the US, but, hey, at least it's got a list.
As for GameSpy, I wouldn't really call them a trusted source either. I've seen their share of reviews and lists, and they just seem to be pulling crap out of their asses half the time (refer to some of the comments on some of their Top10 lists).
FYI, I'm not American. I'm Taiwanese (living in Australia, if that matters), so I've actually played my fair share of Japanese imports, not to mention saw both sides of the argument.
Our final genre is the music genre. While you may be thinking "Hey, we get some music games!" you'd be surprised (or not) by how much further is taken in Japan.
What the hell are saying? Karaoke Revolution was the FIRST game on TIME's game list thingy...
America is nowhere near ready for most of these games yet, mostly because they just aren't used to anime, which contains lots of whacky things (to the americans, of course).
I've played my fair share of hgames (hentai games), and I've found some of them to actually contain a decent storyline, even without the H, (Dividead) and some of them have been ported to console without the H (Private Nurse).
Sometimes the translations are just absolutely hillarious. There's a choice in X-Change 2 that goes something like: You're having sex with your girlfriend in the morning. You have two choices. You either continue having sex, or go to school.
Seriously, what kind of stupid question is that? I chose go to school, of course.
But those decsions are part of getting all of the girls... as most games have multiple girls and you have to try to score with them all. Like, there's a graphic completition percentage, you have to try to get all of the pictures that are in the game, H, or not. Of course, some of the l33ter people can just hex the savegame, but what's the fun in that?
I'm not really sure if Japanese animation still uses the traditional pencil and paper method, but it's highly likely they've moved to CG (Note, not necessarily 3D).
I've watched a fair bit of anime, and there is just a certain quality of the cel-shaded animation that appeals to me. It's harder to comically exaggerate things in real life; such things are easier with cel-shading. Also, anime usually have much better plot, characters than most cartoons and sometimes movies (*cough*Tomb Raider*cough*).
I mean, a large-breasted women in tight clothes kicking ass... add in some emotional scenes with her dad... you get Tomb Raider: The Movie! Whereas (most) Japanese people have more tact and create interesting plots. (FYI, I'm not Japanese)
Good Chinese calligraphy is still very valuable because of the skill required to do it, and who knows, drawing could be worth much more than CG sometime into the future...
Difficult to use? I don't find that to be true. Neither did a friend of mine that wouldn't know the difference between a word processor and a spreadsheet application. He used OpenOffice to write a research paper with no complaints. I even asked him if it worked ok.
I'm wondering why you left out the answer to that question?:p
This reminds me of the article that was posted a while ago where somebody did a whole report on how the Matrix would be even possible, and somewhere in there it had something about attaching neurotransmitters into the brains and branching it out everwhere, and then have a computer detect what each neuron did, and then convert into movement.
Imagine the possibilites for gaming and science... pure virtual reality, etc.
Like Chess, Go has some standard moves called "Joseki" that often appear in the opening or appear where is a conflict between a new piece of territory on the board. So, computers can just analyse the moves that occur the most often, but interesting and possibily advantageous play is often gained from moving away from the Joseki.

Actually, some/all of these events would have already occured in parallel universes... :p
gDesklets use .display files which contains XML to define the applet's display.
And as far as I know, GDM themes does this as well.
So then Microsoft will lose to Linux?
Humans will lose to monkeys?
IE lose to Mozilla-based browsers?
SCO will lose in court?
This is what happens when you put l33t gamers in front of a dating sim.

sco.slashdot.org for all the SCO-related news, anyone?
Guess North Korea's gonna fall behind now, eh?
The Blood Gulch Chronicles by Red vs Blue is machinima.
*shrug*, was rather early in the morning. Probably quoted the wrong thing. Sorry if I made you write up a long comment in reply to mine.
The article seemed to be dissing Japanese games in general anyway.

Slashdotted already? We slashdotters are more dangerous than a beowulf cluster of... something.

I mean, with all the SCO stories that we're getting, why not make a new logo to replace the Caldera one we're using at the moment?
I suggest something along the lines of "SCO vs. Tux", or maybe "SCO vs. The Rest of the World".
Must... resist... :p
They've extended it to 52 episodes now.

No...
Now tomatoes are a DRUG!

Seriously, how did they build a good looking iTunes clone with THAT colour sense?

Ghost in the Shell sure comes to my mind.
I posted a comment on it here. Probably not completely correct, since I'm still doing Year 10 Maths, but here it is.
I forgot to mention some things.
