Highly recommend that everyone scroll through tons of pretty screenshots and feature lists on this developers blog which will give you a way better idea of how awesome KDevelop is going to be than the summary links will.
But the great thing is that there are umpteen different ways to use most of that free software in open-source operating systems. Virtualization is probably the most reliable, but the progress in Wine has been astounding and it works great for running VirtualDub, and can use Windows video encoders like the XviD binaries for Windows. And I've been watching online television from CTV in Firefox using the Silverlight plugin, so that is a testament to progress in Mono.
At Loblaw's our President's Choice gift cards need to be peeled out of the frame they are inset into, with backing. There's no way to get anything off of the card until then. Plus the frame holds the little hole so you can hang them on the shelf.
And phone cards all just have identical barcodes. The POS system then generates their activation code upon confirmation of payment, and prints it on their receipt.
You really need to keep your eye on KDevelop 4.0 then. Check out one of the main developer's blogs for tons of screenshots. It's a complete rewrite from 3.5 that takes advantage of just about everything KDE and Qt have to offer. I'm sure it is going to blow every other Qt/KDE IDE out of the water.
If a company designed a product to operate in the whitespace radio band, wouldn't they want to market it to people in Baltimore and Philadelphia too? So why would they make a device that would interfere with DTV transmissions in those cities? Or, do you mean that they are so far away that your ability to pick them up isn't protected?
Really? When you hear "chrome", you don't think of hot rods from the 50s or 60s? It's the first thing that pops in my head, and is pretty fuckin' cool.

... but it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Except for the fact that this sort of competition between browsers brings us closer and closer to a day when web developers will be able just use CSS exactly the way that it should work, without having to spend hours and hours of time making sacrifices and hacks to fix these problems.
When 95% of it almost works, then why is the last 5% even in the spec if no browsers are going to support it?
Well the movie, Dead Space: Downfall doesn't even have the enjoyment of any gameplay. The animation is interesting (1990's hand drawn cartoon style, sort of like Aeon Flux, with some CG sets and ships), but the plot is predictable, since it's a prequal, and you already know that everyone on the ship dies because that's how the game starts.
It does have Bruce Boxleitner, which is why we watched it in the first place, but should have turned it off after he died 20 minutes in.
Lots of blood, guts, and gore, and some weird religion element that they don't bother explaining. Maybe if I made it through the game I'd learn what that was all about.
But you'll be praying the main character dies the whole time, because she's annoying as hell. Yeah, it's one of those movies.
The solution to speeding up HD adoption, is to make the content itself less interesting. The viewers will have no choice but to start taking notice of external annoyances like picture quality.
Aha! So that's what's happened to film quality in the past decade or two...
I appreciate the advice you're giving me, but I don't think your anecdote fits in this case. In fact, I agree that if you have to go through three boxes of a game to get a complete set of game discs then there is a big problem, and the store would do something.
But seeing as we're reading about how trivial the workaround for this "problem" is right in TFA, and yet the OP really thinks that on principle he would and should be allowed to wreck a stores entire inventory on a new product, then you can see where the situations differ.
I treat the vast majority of customers with smiles, friendly banter, politeness, and get a few anonymous props in the suggestion box every couple of months. But some customers, like the OP, think they deserve an entitlement above what would even remotely make sense because "They are the customer" and I'm just some punk-ass kid who has no authority to tell them they'd just be wasting everyones time with their silly notions. After we called EA to see why his serial code was short, we'd find out that they will give him a new serial number over the phone and the situation would be over. The OP just assumes that the hard way is the best way because he has to make a statement.
Like I said, he needs to chill the fuck out, accept a minor publishing error made on the behalf of human beings chugging along in the corporate machine, and pick his battles.
Hahahaha.... are you serious? EA says "just call this free number, and we'll give you a CD key", and you think that somebody at the store will let you stand there and tear open every package of a brand new, in-demand video game they have in stock because you are incapable of picking your battles? Do you think the 19 year old minimum wage-earning retail employee (a.k.a "me") gives a shit about a problem that the manufacturer has supplied a perfectly reasonable solution for (hint: I don't).
Everyone else who wants to buy this game doesn't want to hear that some self-important "always-right"-customer tore open all the boxes so he might not have to, worse case scenerio, try 36 digits in a textbox until an OK button-control turns active on an install dialogue.
The game is defective, return it. But fuck this "customer is always right" mentality -- thats only true when the store faces a loss of revenue by not agreeing with you. I don't think anyone you complain to is going to sympathize when you say "This and this store wouldn't let me tear open video game boxes until I found the one I wanted! Hurr!"
Pick your battles. Honestly people. Everyone would be so much happier.
Digital audiotape, it was discovered, tends to hit a "brick wall" when it degrades. While conventional tape becomes scratchy, the digital variety becomes unreadable.
"Discovered"? You mean once you can tell the ones from the zeros, they "discovered" it becomes unreadable? Compare a photograph to a 1000 words -- when one degrades it's a blurry picture, but once you can't make out the letters the paragraph is a useless grey blob.
And besides, digital audiotape? For movie archiving? I guess they mean magnetic tape, but the word "audio" should have been the first tip-off there, IMO.
I've the same setup, Alt+F4 worked just fine for me, although had I had more tabs open it would have been a huge inconvenience to lose my browsing session.
You have read about the OpenMoko Neo 1973 open-platform cell-phone, right? The developer version (sans-wifi) is available now, and the consumer-ready version will ship in October. It's linux-based, and 100% open-source (both hardward and software) for a price comparable to the iPhone.

I'm running Kubuntu, so I'm syncing with KPilot into Kontact; the default KDE PIM. KPilot fully supports the Tungsten series of Palms according to this page. Likewise, if you used Gnome in Ubuntu instead, I'm sure that the Gnome Palm program would work equally well, and import your Datebook, Contacts, and other info into Evolution.
It really is as simple as plugging it in, running KPilot, and pressing the Hotsync button.

I agree completely. I am still using my Palm Vx as my main PDA, and it's holding up real well for it's age. The digitizer is slipping, and the screen is scuffed a little, but it is relatively indestructable compared to some PDAs I've seen. I'm afraid to sneeze on my flimsy plastic iPaq h2200, but my Palm Vx is half the width, in a metal case, and has been dropped dozens of times, easily. Meanwhile, I've had to crazy-glue the battery cover shut on my iPaq, because the tabs holding it on turned brittle and fractured into a dozen tiny pieces!
My Palm Vx syncs perfectly in Linux, has EasyCalc, the most useful multi-purpose graphing calculator I have found, and is solid as a rock.
Five years ago I would have jumped all over colour screens and multimedia and websurfing, but for a basic PDA you could probably find for $5, older, metal-cased Palms like the V-series and M500s are a godsend.
But... Scotty wasn't fat during the show! Maybe he plumped up for the movies (can't put that widescreen to waste!) but during the TV show he was pretty fit (he was in the military for number of years) and this movie takes place before the show, so he should be a lean, mean, engineering machine.

Hmmm, not for me. Note there are two scaling options, regular and "smooth" scale. http://img148.imageshack.us/g/kolourpaintsmooth.png/

Your first sentence answered the question in your second. Is this a trick? What do you want from us?
Do you assume he arranges all of his international trips and conferences sitting cross-legged on the side of a mountain?
Now I do want to be a Jackalope.

It's just a shitty headline. The courts didn't decide the truth, medicine did and just passed it along.

After RTFA I noticed that they are also in the process of making a new Dune movie! http://sffmedia.com/films/science-fiction-films/179-this-time-its-for-real-new-dune-movie-confirmed.html
Interesting article! The porno business must be booming if they can afford Will Smith to star in Handcock! And the original director too!
