  1. MP3 support on openSUSE 10.3 Public Release · · Score: 1

    How can they provide MP3 support out-of-the-box? Does it mean that they can't distribute their distro in the US?

  2. Re:Wow! on Google May Blur Canadian Faces and License Plates · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Sweden, but here in Finland you can't publish a photo if the _subject_ of that photo does not give you a permission. So you can publish crowd pics etc.

  8. Hans shot first on Hans Reiser Interview from Prison · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hans shot first, so all he can do is to pray there'll be special edition where he doesn't.

  13. Re:ROTFLMAO on Norman & Spolsky - Simplicity is Out · · Score: 1

    Is that because the More link on Google is overly complicated? Or people just do not understand the idea of "more"? Maybe that's because Less is More, and there isn't "Less" link.

  14. XGL & stuff on Vista Gets Official Release Dates · · Score: 1

    Will this speed up the development of XGL, Compiz, Beryl and likes? I assume they aren't still stable, but i haven't tested them yet.

  15. Problems on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I aptituded from Dapper to Edgy. First the system would not find the root partition, because it had old UUID in /boot/grub/menu.lst. I replaced it with my root partition device file name (/dev/sda1) and it booted. I recompiled Wine and MPlayer. Now Wine segfaults when launched and MPlayer can't play audio using the default API (=mp3lib, others work fine).

  16. Re:Good news! on Flash 9 Beta for Linux Available · · Score: 1

    I'm motivated and willing to work on Gnash source code when i have enough free blocks of time from studying. I haven't familiarized myself with the code base yet, but i'm planning on to look at it soon.

  17. Good news! on Flash 9 Beta for Linux Available · · Score: 5, Informative

    Even being beta version, Flash 9 for GNU/Linux works very well when compared to previous player.

    Some flash movies that hogged Firefox UI with old player work flawlessy now. Audio is now in sync with video.

    While not perfect, this release makes me wonder when the free software Gnash player reaches a usable state. Being a free software enthuasist, i generally don't like the idea of using a proprietary plugin, but being also pragmatic, i use it. I also think that the official Flash plugin could be faster and more bug-free, if the source code were available and under a GPL compatible licence.

    That being said, i still think it's important that GNU/Linux users, especially Average Joe, have a lot less hassle with badly designed, flash-dependent websites.

  18. Re:it's a learned disability on Study Shows Good With Math Means Bad With People · · Score: 1

    At least they can spell "grammar."

    How does ext4 perform when compared to, say, reiserfs 3.6 or 4? What new features there are?

  20. Re:Math is needed... some of the time. on Great Programmers Answer Questions From Aspiring Student · · Score: 1

    I suck at math, but still like to program 3D engines and ray tracing. I don't have anything against math, and try to learn it as i code.

  21. Re:This HAS happened before - with Stacker on Hardware Virtualization Slower Than Software? · · Score: 1
