  1. Re:Hitting the brakes slows you down. on Rounding the Bases Faster, With Math · · Score: 1

    The baseball rules state that you need to be within 3' of the vector between the base you are leaving to the base you are going to, if a defensive player is trying to make a play on the base runner. That could be why the runners do not run so wide.

  2. Still doesn't work and no real place to open bugs on Google Rolls Out Chrome 7 · · Score: 1

    I've been trying to use Chrome since version 4 with Interwoven TeamSite. It doesn't work at all and I posted an issue[1] on the bug message board. So far no comments, no help and it still fails. The same application works great with firefox 3 and IE 6-8. So something is wrong in chrome.

  3. 64bit flash on Fedora 13 on Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux · · Score: 1

    I was using the older beta and sites like hulu would not work. So I installed nspluginwrapper (32 and 64 bit) and then installed the 32 bit flash player and it was working pretty well.

    I then tried this new plugin, and just removed the flash-plugin rpm. It played videos but when you right clicked it would hang the browser. So I removed nspluginwrapper (32 and 64 bit) and after that I haven't had any more issues with it.

  5. Laptop Displays suck right now on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    I've been looking for a new laptop and REFUSE to buy one with a 1366x768 screen... Hear me laptop vendors!!! I will not buy a laptop with this crappy screen I want at least 900 pixels and preferably 1050 or more.

    I recently had my laptop with a 1600x1200 screen at work replaced with a laptop that has a 1440x900 screen. Oh do I miss those pixels. In fact I have requested an external monitor to make up for this loss.

  6. Document Management Systems on ISO 9001-Compliant Document Control? · · Score: 1

    For commercial offerings you might look into Documentum or FileNet. Both are quite good with maintaining document revision history and I believe both integrate with Explorer.

  7. You can always switch to something else... on Open Source Is Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    So you don't like where the buttons are by default in Ubuntu. So you have a few options.

    1. Learn to like the new button positions

    2. Switch to a different theme and move the buttons around, I do understand that the bug quotes is about how the theme locks in the button positions
            which appears to be a limitation of the theme specification, which probably should be fixed.

    3. Switch to a version of Linux that doesn't come this way

  10. Re:ATI Driver Issues on Fedora 12 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    If you have an ATI video card try adding 'pcie_aspm=off' to your kernel command line in grub. It disables some advanced power management (that is in the Linus kernel, but enabled in the Fedora kernels), but it sure made my system with an ATI HD3650 video card much more stable. There are a couple of bugs open on lock up issues.

  11. MBR1000 and Sprint Broadband on (Near) Constant Internet While RV'ing? · · Score: 1

    I live in a rural area and I use the MBR1000 and the Sprint Broadband card to do my daily work. It works well and there are several machines at my house connected to this setup. I can even watch movies from Netflix this way. However, Sprint does have a 5GB limit until they start charging you extra, so you need to monitor your usage to keep from getting huge bills or just get a couple of cards.

  12. Let them lower it.... but... on Major ISPs Seek To Lower Broadband Definition · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and let them change the low end definition, but only as long as the executives of those companies are only allowed to have that level for their usage. Nothing higher than the low end, including when they are in the office and on the road. Then they would see how frustrating it is to get anything done on the net with these limited data rates. I live in an area that has no DSL, no Cable (due to Qwest and Bresnan not wanting to spend the money) and I use Sprint's broadband card for my daily usage. It is doable, but at 1Mb it is at the low end of where I want to be. Can't see having to do my work at less than that.

    Would love to see the execs reactions to their kids complaining that the internet was slow and they could not watch YouTube or downloading music from iTunes took more than a couple of seconds.

  13. Re:Not a lot of help for the rest of us on Comcast Bringing Metropolitan WiMAX To Subscribers · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Google? No. CMS! on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents? · · Score: 1

    Correct!

    Tools that should fit the need include FileNet from IBM, and Documentum from EDMS. I'm sure those are others, but I'm familiar with both of them.

    I've never really seen a good open source tool that does this.

    Document Management tools allow organizing, searching, tagging, access control and filesystem or web based access. And 100,000 documents is nothing for one of those systems.

  15. Re:overload on Can Mobile Broadband Solve the UK Digital Divide? · · Score: 1

    Unless your teleco (QWest) won't put in the parts to enable DSL cause it won't make enough money. I live out of town in a subdivision of 25 houses. QWest says they won't put the part into the box (which I can see from my house) cause it needs 75 people to make it pay for itself. So I have to use wireless broadband to get any kind of decent internet.

    Aren't we paying some type of fee so that they must offer this service?

  16. But will it be capped? on Verizon Promises 4G Wireless For Rural America · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just hope it is a service with a reasonable cap or without a cap. The current 5GB limit to the wireless internet is way to small. If it has a 100GB or over cap I'd sign up today. Currently, I run about 25GB over Sprint Broadband and would expect more with a faster service. And yes it is all legal stuff...

    The HBO example page they use works just fine with gecko-mediaplayer and mplayerplug-in, that Linux users have had for years.

  18. I'll believe it when I can order it... on Mobile Broadband to Hit 42Mb/sec In 2009 · · Score: 1

    I'm in a rural area of Colorado. DSL and Cable are not available, but the Sprint Broadband service is. However, as good as it works I would really like to have something better.

    QWest is the phone company out here and they won't install DSL in my area because there are only 25 potential customers, they say they need 75 to make it worth it. Oh, and if they were to install it, they guess at most I would get would be 1.5Mb which is nearly what Sprint gives me.

  19. Router Setting on Can Any Router Guarantee Bandwidth For VoIP? · · Score: 1

    I run a WRT-54G router with the stock firmware. And I run two Vonage lines over my cable modem which has about 256Kbps upload rate. the easiest thing to do is to find the mac address of your phone adapter and set that device to be high priority and then set your upstream bandwidth setting just a little below what you get from your ISP and it works everytime. I've done this on two ISPs and never had a Vonage problem since doing that.

  20. Re:stop hating on mplayer on 2008 Google Summer of Code Highlights · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you ever tried the updated version of mplayerplug-in?

    Gecko-mediaplayer (browser plugin) and gnome-mplayer (clean GTK GUI for mplayer that gecko-mediaplayer uses over dbus) really try and give the best browser plugin support for firefox on linux.

    mplayer may have legal problems... that said you my want to try "gnome-mplayer" it can be found at getdeb. It is a gnomish wrapper for mplayer (just the basics). Also, you may want to try gecko-mediaplayer. It is a plugin for firefox that controls gnome-mplayer via dbus to playback embedded videos at most websites.
