Why Use GTK+?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
For those who didnt RTA,
GTK+ is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool kit.
That is, it's a library (or, in fact, a collection of several closely related libraries) that allow you to create GUI-based applications. Think of GTK+ as a toolbox in which you can find many ready building blocks for creating GUIs.
Originally, GTK+ was created as a spin-off of another well-known open source project: the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). While working on early GIMP versions, Peter Mattis and Spencer Kimball created GTK (which stands for GIMP Toolkit) as an alternative to the Motif tool kit, which at that time was not free. (The plus sign was added to the name later, when the tool kit gained object-oriented features and extensibility.)
That was almost 10 years ago. Today, a lot of activity is still going on with the latest GTK+ version -- 2.8 -- and while GIMP certainly continues to be one of the best-known programs using GTK+, it is by far not the only one. Literally thousands of applications have been written for GTK+, and at least two major desktop environments (Xfce and GNOME) use GTK+ to provide a full working environment for users.
Cell-phone makers hoping to break into the music business got little traction in 2005 in the face of Apple Computer's iPod dynasty. The shortcoming was made all the more glaring for Motorola, when its Rokr iTunes phone debuted alongside Apple's newest entry, the iPod nano. (Motorola later issued a press release saying Zander's statement was a "joke.")
And you'd better believe parents *can* control their kids. They just don't realize it, which is their failing. If my child proves herself incapable of handing the responsibility of a computer, then she doesn't get to use one in my house.
See how well that works? A nice, clear line of cause and effect that the child can trace directly back to their actions.
And you'd better believe parents *can* control their kids.
Whar crap ! Why should I " better believe" that parents can control their kids when that simplt isnt happening????? May be you wont buy your daughter a computer,but other vast majority certainly are.
See how well that works?
It isnt working you nut ! Thats why p2p is flourishing!!!!
Lol.
You mean to say the parents of all the millions of people who download 'stuff' from p2p are 'bad' parents??We know how much control parents have over their kids [If at all they know knw what their kids are doing,that is.]
In any case,your 'Good parents' system isn't working.
If the law is enacted, retailers could be fined up to $1,000 per violation for selling adults-only games to a minor. Manufacturers and distributors would be responsible for designating games for adult sale only.
Well,If 'kids' are'nt allowed to buy a particular game due to age restrictions,what stops them from downloading from p2p/bittorrent?
True.I once saw a story in BBC - Japanese youth send SMS love messages to artificial/robot girls - because they are very shy to talk to girls.! I just thought "Strange world".
The main danger of such explosions is the static and toxic moondust, which is thrown around.
Danger to whom exactly? Should I be hitting the bunker to dodge that toxic moondust?
Warner, a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner Inc., is based in New York. The other firms charged in the complaint are subsidiaries of Vivendi Universal S.A., a French corporation. Vivendi Universal is the successor corporation to PolyGram following a December 2000 merger.
As the concert date approached, both companies became concerned that the new products would be neither as original nor as commercially appealing as products already available to consumers. In an effort to shield the new products from competition, Warner and PolyGram agreed not to discount and not to advertise certain of their catalog products for a limited period of time, the complaint says
So they decided not to advertise about previous releases?Well,dont many companies do this?Only here,seems both of them decided together.& what competition are they talking about,when they own the rights.?
Snapshot: According to the FTC complaint detailing the charges, in 1997, Warner and PolyGram (predecessor to Vivendi Universal), two of the largest music distribution companies in the world, formed a joint venture to distribute compact discs, cassettes, videocassettes, and videodiscs to be derived from the next public performance of The Three Tenors. Warner would distribute the 1998 releases in the United States, and PolyGram would distribute the 1998 releases outside of the United States. As the concert date approached, both companies became concerned that the new products would be neither as original nor as commercially appealing as products already available to consumers. In an effort to shield the new products from competition, Warner and PolyGram agreed not to discount and not to advertise certain of their catalog products for a limited period of time, the complaint says. The FTC alleges that the agreement violated federal law
Music industry sources said the current probe appeared to center on whether the Big Four music studios -- Warner, Sony Corp's Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Group ( and Vivendi's Universal Music -- colluded to set wholesale pricing for song downloads.
Then why s warner alone subpoenaed?What about others?
Pushing aside the idea for the ad, which is the ideal video software to use?(or is it flash?) If it was a print medium,photoshop could be a starting point for creating.But video left me stumped - theres a whole gamut outthere,that are quite complicated to use too......
So which software is fast, easy to learn,with decent results?
"To date, Symantec has not had any reports of related exploits of this vulnerability."
Then why give all this: "An attacker may craft a sub-block header to overwrite heap memory with user controlled file data to execute arbitrary code. Successful attack will yield system/root-level privileges and is available through e-mail without user interaction," he explained.
Thankfully, To mitigate the risk before patches are ready, Symantec has posted an AntiVirus based protection signature to LiveUpdate to provide "heuristic detection" for potential exploits.
Solution (FTA):Wheeler recommends that users disable the scanning of RAR compressed files, including RAR self-extracting files.
As long as you connect to virtually-public P2p sites run by unknown and untrustworthy strangers, you have no assurance that they aren't recording each transaction you make with them.
So what is the correct thing to do then?AFAIK,there is no anonymous p2p method right?Is there any P2P you'd recommend thats not "irtually-public P2p sites run by unknown and untrustworthy strangers"

You should also realise that digg posts links to slashdot stories as stories too.
A total slashdot design makeover using techniques like CSS, so that its soft 'n' sweet on eyes.

In this scenario,how reliable is AVG Antivirus from Grisoft? I've heard its good?
Can it be used as a alternative to symantec?
I think if slashdotters uploaded their mod pics,they'd look good....
Any of you posting?
I agree to EULA.Pls install root kit.
