A wide aperture can do it. However, a wide aperture together with a telephoto lens can REALLY do it.
To take decrease DOF as much as possible on "prosumer" cams, you can widen the aperture like you say, and zoom in as much as possible at the same time.
Of course, the image quality of zoom lens (come with most "prosumer" cams) leaves MUCH to be desired, when compared to a similar-priced fixed-focus lens. It is the difference.
French...what a redundant language...I've studied Latin and found that while other derivatives of Latin (Spanish, Italian, Portugese) simplifies the language somewhat, French is actually a step backward.
Especially in the pronunciation department. (English is not much better, but alas, at least it has the excuse that it borrows from 1000 other languages)
No wonder why the French spends so much time making up rules protecting the language (e.g. banning government use of "email"). Because it simply has no chance of survival in the battlefield of languages.
In addition to the OS switching among processes, the OpenGL driver has to perform context switching for the graphic hardware's registers, DMA addresses, etc.
Plus, modern hardware drivers are optimized for games, i.e. full-screen programs. How much context-switching performance do you need? Thus, less development effort, less performance.

Well, seeing that you're from SCO, you probably know better about how many developers are in SCO than any outsider. I gathered my fact, and what I know about it, most of the former developers are laid off. SCO Lays off 190
Saying that they "don't employ any developer" is just an overstatement. Well what the hell, as long as people get the idea.
But again, seeing where you're from, most comments on this story will be classified by you as "crap", "emotional" and "inaccurate" anyway.
I'll let the court decide whether I'm "running my mouth", and, I hope you sell your stocks in time.
Think about it...the publicity stunt this README creates is enough. I'd be happy if CNet, Yahoo and NY Times are the next to report it.
They *SAY* they would continue support, but throws a FUD effort to the game. It won't affect SCO users a bit, except to make them ponder whether or not to continue to use SCO, *exactly* like what SCO is doing to Linux users.
I think, if SCO has any future plan for SCO Unix, this move is important: it forces current SCO users to migrate to another OS, or SCO to develop on gcc (impossible, they don't employ any developers anymore, plus they won't release anything in GPL from now on)
Also, it'll lower the worth of the Unixware, if SCO plans to sell the Unixware IP to another company, it would certainly be bad news.
If I were FSF, I'd go further and announce that "while support for current SCO Unix is retained, for all future versions of SCO Unix it is dropped until further notice".
I don't know...it ususlly is not a "person" who makes it, and it's not ususlly on a page.
Try open a few Yahoo News tabs. If each tab has 2 flash ads, 6 would be enough to bring Mozilla to its knees. Now it seems to be a more relevant issue, doesn't it?
If that's true it's a good thing for Ferrari/Porsche/Aston Martin/ Rolls Royce have plenty of rich dumb customers who don't know that they could buy a cheap Ford/GM/Crysler/Nissan/Skoda that'll work
just as well.
Slightly offtopic: so you really think a Ford/GM/Chrysler/Nissan/Skoda works just as well as a Porsche? They tend to break down 10 times as often than even a lowly Honda (especially Ford/GM/Chrysler) if you call that "just as well"....
As the author of an essay on Fravia's pages I can attest how useful the site is. If you go through 5 maybe 10 of the essays you'll know a lot obout reverse engineering today's software.
Although the more fun and obscure stuffs like copy protections back in the 5.25" floppy era isn't covered (i.e. most of the cracks on the site make use of software techniques only, not a lot of hardware tricks), it serves as a good starting point for newbies.
Remember, the DMCA does not limit people who reverse engineer stuffs themselves!! If they limit our expression so we cannot discuss things, by knowing the techniques of reverse engineering we'll discover them individually. Discover the hacker within you!!

Real streets demonstration the one true way if you wan anything accomplished
Because they have to save up in order to hire more programmers.

Well, Mitochondrial DNA only comes from the mother, and it can potentially be a better idenfication, because it works on both males and females.
Not that it's not a good language, but isn't Guile the official scripting language?
....argh!!
The extra dependencies

So...it comes to another feature request...
Customizable user-agent string with a set of choosable defaults.
It should have been there WAY earlier. Why can't we see it still?

The main reason of this slowness is Mozilla's inability to "renice" plugins.
Try opening a page with 15 flash applets in IE, and the same page in Mozilla and you'll know how crucial this feature is.
We need to put this as a high priority bugfix.
To hell with Doom 3, unless id shows us a more impressive demo.
Import anything you buy overseas, pay a tax. Are you importing labour? Pay a tax.
If it doesn't make sense, the whole concept of customs tax should be booboo too.
Where people either pay the full value or get for free say 40% of the time? How are they doing now?

Now we just have to pour some resource into it.
One more tool for the trade.
Let's go for beer.
How about a dual license with LGPL / MPL?

There is a difference. Bugs are unintentional.
What Winamp does is just changing some registry entries. The MS "set default" applet could have done the same too but it doesn't.
Seems like another MS "thoughtful feature" to me.
However, the whole POINT of putting the selection in the start menu is for Joe 6-pack to figure it out, not the computer savvy.
It is by no means simple for the majority, and Microsoft knows it.
Are there news on features that let users block any mime type per site, just like images?
Or throttling the CPU usage of Flash/Java applets so it won't grind to a halt when I open a few pages with flash ads?
