If I recall correctly, the OO packages put pretty much everything the libraries and core packages that are required no matter which you have installed, and the individual packages for Writer, Calc, etc only taking something like 5MiB each.
Switch to KDE or XFCE with a default panel arrangement similiar to GNOME 2 and write a couple of configurator widgets to also look like the GNOME 2 ones?
If you've ever watched his show on the science channel, he never really explains how his ideas are supposed to work, and they seem to universally rely on *some_magical_unknown_element*.
There was an episode where he tried to discuss light-sabers where he described a frame made out of cermet that basically served as a gas pipe to vent heated plasma. He then went to say that the power source would be "some kind of super-awesome-nano-manufactured-battery".
His first mistake with this is that it wouldn't even be a light-saber, as that would use a laser (light) to create the "blade". His other mistake is using "unobtainium" to make his "theories" work by saying "Oh, all you have to do is fit a nuclear power plant into a D-Cell alkaline battery!"
Actually, I think this is maybe the 2nd article I've seen where Google found something on the market to be malware - the other one being a proof of concept somebody put on there months back to see how many people would download it.
The majority of the articles you see mention "On 3rd party Market sites" - in other words, its the same old "warez" situation with Windows or any other OS. Cheap college kid or cheap person in general wants newly released app or game that normally costs $x.xx or $xx.xx amount of money, such as Photoshop - but because they don't want to pay for it, they pirate it from wherever they can even if it's obviously a "questionable" site, not thinking about the malware packaged in with it.
What I'm hoping is that once they fully drop mail order DVD's (they've already said they will), Netflix will have the extra cash to purchase more titles for instant streaming and at a faster rate.
As a side note - it may be the PS3 not being powerful enough for the Netflix streaming app, the app itself sucks, or something else - but it gets worse about updating what you have in your queue (say if you finish a show and remove it) when you have over a 100 shows in the instant queue (I've got about 140 right now).
Or, since they said it is a package, you could just uninstall the package...
Really this isn't much new - Fedora and Debian have had things like these... Debian's is called Popularity Contest, and Fedora is looking at doing the same though I could have sworn they already had that in Fedora...
Just checked out the Wikipedia page for SugarCRM to find out what it is - the whole page is written like a marketing pamphlet where the drone that went and put the page together sat down with a thesaurus and changed literally every other word just to make the Wikipedia article sound fancier.
Exactly - they went and spouted "Oh, look at us, we disproved (Great Person X)'s work!" when all they really did was use selective reading and ignore the other half the book about the Uncertainty Principle
So they took UltraVNC from a couple of years ago, which includes its own webserver with a Java interface accessible from a browser - and added a conversion program to change the Java into Javascript w/Canvas?
Except ed is pretty much the predecessor to ALL text entry methods, including echo and cat? The only thing I think is older is writing your binary data by placing pebbles on the ground...
Even then, at least Nvidia is getting slightly easier on Ubuntu with their newer hardware - https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa allows you to install the Nvidia binaries and then have them update with the rest of the system.
Yes, it is Ubuntu/Deb only, and it would be better if it were hosted by Nvidia with proper regression testing. Or to just have an open driver to begin with that could be included in the main kernel. But you know what? It's a step (maybe a half a step) in the right direction...
There is currently every reason to just get the fansub instead of buying it...
I started with fansubs because when you were in high school and early college, you don't really have the money - especially not when a box set cost $90 to $120 USD. Yeah, the prices have come down considerably now, but even at 40 to 50 USD, you've got to realize those shows are 5 to 10 years old now.
That brings up another point - delay in releases. I'll watch the fansub, for example Burst Angel / AKA Bakuretsu Tenshi - it came out in 2004, I watched it at least 2 or 3 years ago on fansub - and only about 6 months to a year ago did I see it in the anime magazines "Burst Angel the next big anime?!?" That'd be like for all the people that somehow enjoy watching 24 and American Idol having to wait a year to find out what happens. "Hey guys, did you know Jack Bauer is in exile?" "Dude, that episode was like 2 years ago."
The 3rd big issue is quality. Fansubs are generally made from ripping the show from over the air TV that it airs on in Japan and add the subs. Every time I've tried "doing the right thing" and going and buying the DVD box-set, the DVD version looks like shit compared to what I downloaded a year or 2 ago. And I mean recently, within the past 3 months, where HDTV's are more common than ever. Also, as many other people have said, the English voice actors on dubbed DVD's tend to have retarded voice pitch, no emotion, and FUBAR the timing on the lines
I'll end my rant now, being as my lunch is over and I've gotta get back to work...
Also, I forgot to mention that the general "living planet" theme of the movie is a bit much like the "Gaia" theme of a lot of Final Fantasy games, myths, and fiction in general.
People rage on about how "insanely innovative" the movie is - when the majority of monsters/alien life and general story plots are just the same as countless others retold with different names.
Most people are comparing the general plot to "White Man vs Native American" - honestly I'm not so familiar with that history, so I've likened it to the Vietnam war.
At least a good 3 or so of the alien wild-life are not at all unique to Avatar. The dog-like creature is a Coeurl, and I'm pretty sure the horse creature is a lightning horse from Final Fantasy though I don't remember the name. The flyer I'm sure enough that the flyer is also from Final Fantasy.
even though the "Tow Rating" says it should... Should FORD be sued because they advertised it wrong?
I think you just answered your own question. Ford put that "Tow Rating" sticker declaring tow capacity, his boat falls in the advertised capable capacity whether it's a generic sticker they put on for the large and small engines for the F150, or if the sticker is specific to that engine class. So at that point, either way the truck should be good for it, meaning that yes, Ford did falsely advertise to him, and therefor yes, they should get sued.
Somebody gave an example of an ISP having a maximum of 100Gbps on their end, and selling it to customers by evenly dividing it up. Now if what they allocate per customer is 10Mbps, that's what is advertised and the line is capped at that speed, and even if it has like a 100GiB per month total limit - ok enough. Depending on pricing that may or may not be a crappy deal for you, but at that point, that's your decision as a customer.
The problem is though, is they aren't doing things that way. What happens is the ISP advertises 20 to 30Mbps, they give you that speed alright, but because they oversold, they cap you at 50GiB per month, meaning either you have to throttle yourself to 10Mbps or only download for the first week - AND they still charge you at that $100 USD a month for a 30Mbps connection, even though as I said, you are forced to throttle yourself. THAT is where this entire problem comes from.
It's fine enough if they lower the speed, but it better be what's advertised and priced accordingly. Right now I pay $50USD a month for a 6Mbps cable line (you bastards are lucky if you're getting 20 or 30Mbps for the same price). If they lowered it to 2Mbps, ok that would really suck, but if it's priced accordingly at like $15 a month or so, that wouldn't be too bad. It's just that most of the ISP's seem to be wanting to force you to use that lower speed (whatever it is) while still charging you $50 a month...
to be fair, Maemo also has "support" for USB host - its that you still have to use the mini-usb for the N8x0, plus a female to female USB adapter just to plug-in a USB keyboard or thumb-drive. This is exactly why I don't use USB host on my N800, because the point of the device is to have a portable "device" where things "just work" - otherwise I'd just carry my laptop.
You can also use a bluetooth keyboard, but now you've got to go spend $70 USD on that...
Even with a 10 shell box magazine, load that with slugs. Assuming you're military with authorization to do so, get one with a short barrel, maybe an assault grip, and you'd have a helluva semi-auto hand-cannon or super high caliber smg...
As to so many people yelping about the Desert Eagle, it has the potential to *occasionally* look kinda cool, but if you're really needing a high caliber pistol, you'd be going with a revolver anyway. A revolver basically can't jam, and can use much higher and uncommon rounds that any other handgun design would not be able to handle the stresses of firing.
No, one of the points of HTML5 is that it is controlled by the browser without plugins - the same way you've been able to choose to load images since almost forever...
