It's automatic, the movie you see is a different movie, so I think you're altering it. I think you're creating a derivative, and the director or copyright owner should at least be able to insist such playback has a prominent "this movie has been censored" banner or similar.
No, read what you just wronte. "Being prepared". Not "has been prepared" or "will be prepared". This only counts while they're preparing to release it.
Not at all. Many series are not distributed on DVD. I think I could reasonably argue that I shouldn't have known the studio intended to release this series, unless it's an enormously successful one.
Can't speak for the others, but Yuri's Revenge and Renegade run as good as native (other than slightly lower performance) under wine. I can only assume westwood or someone tested them on it and added support to wine for anything they lacked.
Azureus really shows how incredibly slow Java is. The official client and I think bittornado are written in Python, hardly the fastest language, but they manage to run far far faster. Azureus needs a fricking splash screen while it starts up, and when you click a menu it takes 1-2 seconds to actually appear (this is on my 800mhz duron). I like azureus, it has lots of good features, but the performance is simply too poor for me to use it. And I'm using the latest sun java (1.5).
Completely undeserved though, if you're judging a distribution by its vocal idiots you won't find any you like. I could make a page with just as many stupid Debian user quotes, or for any distribution. ("I like packages.debian.org to see what packages there are, if gentoo had something like that I'd consider switching". Erm, did you even try typing the stupidly obvious URL to get the gentoo equivalent?)
That's fine. But you can't expect everyone to have that 10+ years. MEPIS is a fine distribution for lots of people, but so is gentoo. Personally I like USE flags enough that I'm willing to take the time to compile everything from source, because I'd recompile half of everything anyway to get the options I like and it's better to have that built in to the package managment system.
As I'm sure you know, no other well known distribution uses source to compile on the end user's system. Remember how much fuss Yoper made over being 686 optimized? Gentoo has that x3 or so (how much "that" is is another debate), because it's optimised right to the level of the processor you have.
He means being able to access the vfat partition, not mount it. Because vfat has no permissions, by default ordinary users have no write access to anywhere on any vfat partitions. It's in the mount manpage how to change this though.
Actually, if you try and actually read it you do learn things. At first the flags don't mean anything, but as you watch them you learn what shows things depending on each other. If you actually read the output from stage 1 you will at the very least learn what order to install things to make a working linux system. As for stage 3 and GRP being just as fast once rebuilt, yes of course it is, but you waste time installing the binary packages if you're only going to recompile them. Just use a livecd with some programs on it, like knoppix, rather than the gentoo one to install from so you can be getting on with things while you're bootstrapping, if the ability to be doing things immediately is so important.
Before jumping to conclusions, benchmark, benchmark, benchmark. Some code hardly benefits at all, but sometimse you can see a 3x speed gain with -O3 -funroll-loops compared to -O2.
How do the fixes help? This is a serious question. When I first came to linux over 18 months ago, sarge was going to be released real soon now. In all the time since then, the only visible progress I have seen is the new installer. Ok, helping to bugfix that helps, but for the rest, how is fixing things going to make sarge get released any sooner? Because I can't see how it's going to make a difference. If they'd freeze it, then I'd know I was helping - once all the bugs are gone, it's ready for release, so the sooner we get rid of this bug the sooner the release. But at the moment, I really can't see how anything I do is going to make any difference to when sarge is released.
There's one big difference: security fixes are backported to stable. They're not backported to testing. (They're not backported to unstable either, but that normally gets the updated version from upstream soon enough). So testing systems can have holes for significant period.
That's crap. The fact is that *even if all that were true*, if MS or even some neutral company did this slashdot would be up in arms. We have a much stronger affection for free speech than other people. If you read any apple thread, you will find that slashdot is by and large populated by idiotic apple worshippers, and that's why we'll keep saying it, until the fact that apple is just another company chasing a profit makes its way through their thick skulls and into whatever tiny organ they have within them.
This seems to be a far more efficient protocol. The pidgeon one requires OCRing the packets, I'm sure you could use SD cards or similar to get better bandwidth and accuracy.
They're now getting closer to the point where they'll have to justify their privilidge claims before the court, so they've dropped the ones they don't think they'll be able to defend.
No, because they'll look at the bits which are ones in the merged file. OK that means you only have 128 bits to look at, but it's still plenty to uniquely identify the watermark.
They shouldn't be necessary. That's why I prefer python. It's deeply, deeply OO, but if you want to write a non-OO program with it you can go right ahead and do it, there's no need to encapsulate it somehow.
Yes, but you know both the files were used to do the zeroing out, so you can get the owners of both of those sources. And 2^128 is still enough for about 1 with 30 zeroes distinct combinations - you could easily make every combination of four files distinct.

That's exactly it, so only digitally signed apps can run. The idea is (allegedly) this stops spyware, viruses etc.

Just confirming, toads do explode in microwaves.
It has actually got a lot better. Real 8 was horrible, but 10 is much less hassle. It's a good player, really.
Linux supported amd64 long before windows did. Didn't seem to do us much good.

I'm pretty sure it does, doesn't it, I/O is modular and can be mysql or sqlite or now access? Or am I thinking of kexi?
