It means that krfb supports RDP, to connect to Windows terminal servers and whatnot. PS: This has also been in 3.1 for awhile now.
There is no RFB server, though I am sure you could find one if yous earched around a bit.
Having a Zaurus for some time now, all I can say is this is great.. but please.... add a decent IMAP client ot OPIE. The only one available really blows, is incredibly show, does not support any kind of encryption or secure authentication...
Which goes to show how ridiculously versatile the iPods are in relation to almost anything
What is this "anything" exactly? If you mean anything as in "any object known to man", sure the iPods are veristile in comparison.
If however, you mean "any portable music player made in the past 5 years", you'd be very mistaken, since pretty much every single one can function as an external USB / USB 2 / Firewire drive (depending on available interfaces). It's not an Apple innovation... companies were doing this for years before the iPod.
This has been around for a loong time, before the last 3 releases. It's not directly NVidia's bug, it's related to the riva frame buffer conflicting with the NVidia drivers.
Turn off frame buffer support and use a plain console and you will be fine.
..which is why DBUS should *certainly* not depend on it, if they want the C++ projects like KDE to use it. Using Glib in KDE is pointless, since you have Qt which can do everything GLib can do already, arguably better.
The only "issue" is that MPEG-4 really puts strain on my CPU, holding a Athlon 2600+ at ~60% while encoding.
I encode my myth at 512x480 @ 4000 Kbps MPEG4 on an XP 2500,and it only uses 17% CPU. The quality is very nice on my 27" TV, so much so that if it wasn't for the occasional lines in the screen due to NVidia's buggy Xv overlay, I wouldn't even know it was encoded.
Suggestion:If you haveit checked, UNCHECK the 4MV box. It does little to nothing at great CPU expense IMO.
Yeah, and the instant the database is useless they discontinue the discounts.
"Way to go jackass."
Yeah, that's what any of your friends or family would be saying to you when you went to brag about your "exploits", AKA runing a good thing for everyone else who really gives two shits if Walmart knows what brand of ham I like.
I mean, would it make a slave "free" if the slave-owner declared that he is "free" while continuing to subjugate him? It is the slave's point of view that is the ONLY point of view to consider when deciding if he is free.
Your analogy makes little sense, since the thing being freed is an inanimate object ( the code ). it can't really "decide" what it wants.
But even so, it is still flawed. If the code is the slave, and the GPL and BSD licenses are ways of freeing it, an appropriate anaolgy to the GPL would be "You no longer have to work for only me. You are now free to not work at all, or do any work, for anyone, so long as you will also do that work for anyone else", whereas the BSD license would be "You no longer have to work only for me. You arenow free to not work at all, or work for anyone, period".
The BSD license is much more free than the GPL, because essentially anyone can do anything with the code. It is just a very smallstep abovepublic domain, the freest license of all.
The GPL is not as free, in that it places more restrictions on the codeuse. Whether or not these restrictions *are to ensure that the code stays as free as possible* are irrelaventto the freedom of the license itself.
Thus the choise is not "which is more free",it is "what is more importantfor this code; absolte freedom not guarenteed to continue, or less freedom, but guarenteed to continue?
No serious technician gives a rats assabout static straps installing memory or RAM.
Take any brand of aeither or these, strap on yourrubber shoes,and rub along the carpet making *as much static as possible*. The odds of you doing any damage is like 1 in a trillion.
The only component you shouldworry about REstatic is if you'rereplacing the CPU.And even then as long as you're not running around the carpet you're likely fine.
C. I listen to things by album or have all day to futz around with playlists.
All of which are wrong. I burn a different CD of music for my car every two weeks. All of which is new music. If I had a nice 1.5 GB player with a wireless radio connection, It'd be perfect.
Not everyone has a huge CD library to download, or even cares that much. Music is just something I listen to jogging or in the car. 2-3 hours of continuous non-repeating music is more than enough.
Oh, and it needs an FM tuner. the iPod is sorrely lacking in this department for no good reason (how expensive can an FM tuner be? Like, 1 dollar???). Sometimes, you just want the morning news.
The fact that a publicly funded organization uses something created by a private one means it is advertising?
Is congress advertising for Adobe because it has PDFs for download?
Is USPS advertising for Ford because it has it emblazened on the front of their trucks?
Answer: No, of course not, and you're only hemming and hawing because Microsoft is in the story somewhere. If the sample was using Ximian OpenOffice you wouldn't have said a word, even though it'd be "Advertising" for Ximian by your terms.
Disclaimer: I am totally not sexist. In fact, I am very liberal and pro-womens (and everyones) rights.
But people who are uptight about things like this really irk me. There's a reason many stereotypes exist, and that's because they're mostly based around at least a portion of truth.
It is a statistical (and biological) fact that men are more inclined to be adept at technical things. This in *NO WAY* suggests that there aren't also many, many adept women as well. But going by numbers alone, given a male and a female, odds are much higher that the male is more technicly adept then the female.
The converse is also true. If I walk into the appliance department of Sears with my SO, guess who the salesman goes after? Not me, thats for sure. Same with other household amenities.
No, I don't get offended when the salesman approaches my SO instead of me. And I wouldn't be offended if they assumed I knew jack shit about it either, because they'd likely be right. Just like someone would likely be right assuming my SO knows jack shit about computers.
Truth is, most people *want* to be helped when purchasing this type of stuff. The salesman is just doing his job. Hell, half the salesmen in the PC sections treat me like a fool as well. Maybe because most PC buyers don't know anything about them?
You think, that if this were in any way influenced by MS, there would be a Java SDK? MS hates Java.
Just because the first sample implementation is in Word, doesn't imply there is some conspiracy. The USPS probably uses Word internally and wanted to make the sample usefull for them. With the JavaSDK you could use this in Linux, FreeBSD, hell even embedded applications.
You think mom and pop, or even corperate customers for that matter, know or care what DCOM, DDC, or OLE stand for or mean? Guess that means that Windows will never be taken seriously...
Frameworks are only used by developers, they can call them whatever the heck they want.
Saying this is like saying that you can deduct your hourly wage for the time you spend volenteering att he soup kitchen after work.
You can deduct goods, not time or services rendered. Not unless the donation of those services have a direct impact on your companies bottom line (ie, the donation nof thoe services meant lost time where you could have made profit from soemthing else ).
Are you trying to imply its easier to pick up an iPod and operate it's tiny buttons without looking at the screen, than it is to reach over to a deck that is positioned *for the purpose* of the driver to operate it?
Or are you saying you'd pick up the iPod and look at it while driving?
I'd guess the latter. It's you people that are the cause of most accidents nowadays.
If Kazaa and others were gone I would probably be forced to buy the music instead.
This is the current attitude of the RIAA, and it's breaindead. People were copying songs DECADES before the internet was even invented. If the P2P networks all shut down, people will just srat encoding songs off of the radio and TV stations. Hell, my digital satelitte MuchMusic signal is as good or better than any CD.
None of those icons makes it easy to find the program at a glance. When you think "control center", do you look for a purple-green-blue gear? Does "web browser" conjure up images of a spiky sphere? What I like about GNOME's icons is that a) they're not all blue, so you can tell them apart, and b) they seem much more intuitive, because they actually bear some resemblance to the thing they represent.
If you knew about UI design and human psycology and spatial recognition, you'd know that the time to aquie an object is not so much a function of it's familiarity but it's uniqueness.
The initial impression of the icons is irrelevant. People will very quickly figure out what they are via the KMenu's descriptions (like Web Browser for Konqueror) and the icon tooltips. What's more important is that icons are distinctive and stand apart from one another, so that your brain can properly correlate things like "blue gear == settings". KDE does this much better than GNOME IMO.. all GNOME's icons look very dark and cartoonish, the smaller versions of them do not stand out at all well against the default greyish GNOME environment. If the text labels are turned off it's evern worse. KDE's are bright and vivid and easy to distinguish, against all but the brightest of backgrounds (and who sets their toolbar backgrounds to white?).
The iRiver is only 3 mm wider than the iPod, and 1 gram heavier. The cuff on my pants is wider than 3mm, and if you can tell the difference between 1 gram then you're a better man than I.
Plus it supports OGG as well as MP3 and WMA, has a remote, has an FM tuner, has real time hardware MP3 encoding off the tuner, and has optical input and output, plus it just plain looks badass, as opposed to the kiddy looking iPod.
I *DID* RTFA like I always do. The thing described is *EXACTLY* the way threading behaves in all the programs I posted above, down to the look of it from the screenshot, with the minor exception that the messages aren't all shown at once (mainly because it looks like ass), only their headers. I don't really give a crap how Outlook does it.
Maybe *you* are the one who isn't reading the article.

You use riva frame buffer right?

This is hogwash. DBUS is written in pure C (not C++), it does not depend on GLib *OR* Qt. It just ships with bindings for GLib (and soon Qt as well).
IMHO, every major C project should use glib
..which is why DBUS should *certainly* not depend on it, if they want the C++ projects like KDE to use it. Using Glib in KDE is pointless, since you have Qt which can do everything GLib can do already, arguably better.

So does KDE 3.2
KControl -> Desktop -> Size & Orientation
For added convience check the box there that adds a system tray applet.

A. I own any CDs
B. I don't liek to update my music
