It seems to me from reading the article that the image/jpeg problem is only there when transfering videos from a digital camera, not when downloading films from the Internet.
I can only assume that the application expects a still picure camera to feed it still pictures and have some glitches in support for the limited video features of these cameras.
This makes the glich a little less important.
On re-R'ing TFA, it appears you are right. Quite possibly not a glitch that would come up in ordinary testing.
Still, I wish these guys good luck. They'll need it.
However, I noticed a few niggles.. The fact that minor oversights like videos being image/jpeg instead of video/mpeg exist suggest more testing is needed. I would expect more of a major version release, even if it is only Version 1. (Being that it is based off a relatively well aged code base) I really do hope this does succeed - I would hate to see the developers waste their hard work.
There are other improvements in Opteron (AMD64) that are nothing to do with being 64-bit (such as the integrated memory controller, Hypertransport, NUMA, advanced superscalar execution) that have their roots in larger systems of yesteryear that intel has yet to catch up with (except in itanic).
Yes, I can imagine a fat dancing nerd could be something that Intel have in their sights to catch up to...:D
To expand on this, a lot of you non-australians should probably know that Telstra Bigpond is the ISP that people choose when they don't know any better.
Value for money wise they rate very poorly compared to the opposition - for ADSL at least.
For those of you that don't know, Telstra is a part government owned company, which owns much of the telco infrastructure in Australia. They like to make life difficult for any competitors.
Also one of the few ISPs in Australia that charges traffic in both directions.
Lastly, my basement is very poorly insulated and gets a bit chilly in the winter. Anything to help warm it up and keep my fingers working properly is a good thing(tm)!
Funny - I got a bunch of Ubuntu CDs in the mail a couple of months ago.
Tried the live cd on both machines (P4 1.3 Desktop and P4 2.4 Lappy) and they both worked perfectly.
So much so that I'm using it as my main OS now on both machines. Desktop got a clean format and install, Laptop got a partition but hasn't been rebooted into Windows since.
Very very impressed with Ubuntu, the support forums are very helpful.
Finally found a distro that allowed me to say goodbye to Bill.
I didn't think it would take long for someone to get instructions etc up, however I didn't think it would be this quick. The more these things get mentioned, the more I want one.
I merely stated the story was getting interesting (I was reading the 2nd page and couldn't go any further) and then got the message "This document contains no data" or similar.
Slashdot Mirror
That's still useful for when the lines are snapped by the falling tree. I think you missed my point.
That'll be great when there's a storm, and trees bring down the power lines.

The whole thing is moving forward while parts of it are moving backward or standing still at the same time?
:D
Sounds suspiciously like a certain operating system
In other breaking news, the sky is blue.
You just wanted to get Whirlpool slashdotted :P
:D
Nice work

I then spent some time explaining the concept of arithmetic to the Telstra support desk...
:D
Have they progressed past their 2 times table?
After all, thats how their pricing works... see what the competitor is charging and double it
I'd go with someone else but they're the only broadband provider for my area. And I live in Sydney (the suburbs, an hour from the city itself)
:P
I assume you are referring to cable and not ADSL..
Maybe you should sacrifice your speed and get ADSL with another ISP

Just in case you guys care
Would that just make the page #0000FF and all text #FFFFFF ?
*grin*

Surely you mean your Mother's basement...
Looks like they used it to host the page..
Up in flames already.

No, it's not you...
Just like google caches are useless for sites with lots of images etc.
/me sings "Burn server burn, slashdot inferno"
Seriously though, why don't the submitters/editors include Coral cache links?
Please, won't someone think of the servers??
Is this mob anything like Gibson Research?
For our sakes I hope not...
How is this offtopic?

Typical. Just as it gets interesting, the server goes up in smoke :(
Umm. You're thinking of the G5 iMac.

Exactly. If I wanted an all-in-one package, I'd use Mozilla Suite.
Firefox is a web browser, don't bloat it un-necessarily.
If you RTFA you'll see that there is mention of a Google IM...
I'd like to see them build official extensions to the Mozilla platform, rather than rebrand Firefox.
Give the consumers more choice!
