There's a difference between having an EULA for google services and an EULA for google browser and they should be different. I can understand anything I upload to google being google's property henceforth, but anything I upload using their browser?
1.1 and 11.1 parts are saying that all what you download/upload/see trought chrome is Google's. But after 10.1 it seems that "Service" does not anymore mean software (chrome, google earth, picasa etc) but software is after it refered as "Software", so 11.1 is not valid for chrome, only for webpages and services.
Just checked, konqueror use own process for every tab, you can move tabs, detach them from mainwindow as own window and then copy it back to other window.
I dont know does Konqueror run tabs as separated process but at least you can move tabs top of the address bar. And you can easily detach the tab from window.
I hope in KDE4.2 konqueror would get samekind address bar as Firefox did on 3.0.
In scandinavia, cows ain't heading to north when resting or eating. Last week I was photographing cows on few different places and every cow what was resting or eating, was lined to random direction. They are mostly on same area where the "group" is, but small groups were moved to separated area, but still "close" (where did they see the main "group". And I did know where was north because I used map to the two other location where I was driving and one location was near our farm.
I like to use Linux on my destkop. And I care about it. But, I dont like that bunch of fanatic Windows users moves from Windows to Ubuntu and starts calling it very special and different OS than Linux. Then they send ideas to Canonical's brainstorm list where they want almost everything what Windows or Mac osx has. Then when someone goes to explain why the idea is not good or there are better way to handle them on Linux world, they starts then bitching about how Ubuntu is so great and it really needs X to replace a 'nerd OS' what is so called "Linux".
I dont have anything against Linux on basic user desktops, like house wifes, old people etc because they give nice ideas and credit to those who develop the software what they use. But many teen and other young (under 30) users who has just got Ubuntu in their hands recommended by their friends, starts spreading the "negative" over other distributions, because they like to support Ubuntu so much. Maybe Linux should not be on their desktop:)
Why GNU/Linux? What operating services does GNU tools offer for applications what Linux doesn't?
Why not call it like Linux/Gnu/Mozilla/OpenOffice/KDE/? Mayby the *real* "leaders" are Novell's CEO for Opensuse operating system or Mark Shuttleworth because he invented the Ubuntu operating system? Ain't those two totally different operating systems what users say? Isn't the operating system the whole complete software package what you get when you install one from CD/DVD? Or is it just a software what is between the hardware and the software and serves hardware resources for applications?
CD is still good format for storing normal data in offices. I dont now mean any games what needs DVD's or HD movies, but normal office data. For sending photos it is great because you need to store photos in JPEG (or other) format so you get them to small size. CD is good unless you need to send all RAW photos what you toke in weddings or other similar situation.
What I really like about CD, is it's lifetime. It has be used to store music what can be still played. Only thing what makes it worse, is these new ideas to push DRM's to them what makes CD's more like use-and-throw-away medias. That is the about on music business. That feeling I have got from music corporations.
So I can still listen those 15-20 years old CD's on my computer or car stereos, but I am not sure can I listen CD what I can buy today from store.
Same thing is happening on technology, television gets digitalized and all standards starts to be changed every 3-5 years. Reminds me just from the Microsoft Office format. I hope that Blu-ray disk is now such media, that can be keeped next 20 years. Altought personally I am scared that there is coming next media around a 2015.
Is it really so that old medias actually stored the data better way because it could be used longer? Like VHS, CD, Vinyl, paper etc? The problem is not the technology itself, it is on companies who wants money and more money by "inventing" better versions after a next one and pushing them out faster rate.
There is lots of other photo manipulation softwares than photoshop what can do such things as easy and good results. Seems that most people thinks that photoshop is only application what has even as basic tools like clone stamp or curves and thats why they suggest photoshop for everyone. If photoshop CS3 suite is about 1600 dollars and photoshop elements 6 about 160 dollars, there is still very big huge for paintshop pro, GIMP, Paint.NET, Krita or any other cheap tool on markets.
Photographer does not need a photoshop, they need lightroom, aperture or digiKam kind applications.
So in future, our cars or other gas needed devices does not work with gasoline (diesel, bensine etc) but with water....?
So we use water to move things and power up things...?
Water... what is already very important for living... And countless of people need to get just their drinking water and water to make their food, by walkin many kilometer every day... and same time western countries would use water to powerup computers to play World of Warcraft, Fast cars to get "hit" girls, or have cellphone so they can speak to their friend who they are about to see in 5min in person.... Please proof that I'm totally mistaken here:-)
Are you sure it is flash, and not the buggy Hardy kernel, or the buggy FF3?
Buggy Operating System or buggy web browser? Why you think the Operating System would be reason that Flash is so terrible as technology for normal use? Flash should work without a clitch on every OS, but browsers and other softwares might bring the problems. And seems that Adobe only cares about Microsoft products, same time ruining the own product fame on Linux OS.
But it's easy to commit murders around prison, because no one is watching outside of prison, only in the prison....
That was reason in one situation in -90 when prisoners partners braked in to prison and freed their friend. It was much harder to brake out... but very easy to get in, because who would like to brake in a prison?
You are correct. The U.S has great freedom, a free speech. And government cant control who can speak and who doesn't, but they can control who says what by what way. There is big "cartel" on U.S, media corporations and government. When government does something what people does not like, the media corporations does not tell the truth, usually they dont even release any information, mayby somewhere middle in paper on small article, just scratching the surface, because they need to publish the information if columnist writes such, but they control how it gets published.
And big media corporations can be owned by other big corporations or such are owning stocks from media corporations so they have control to them, like armaments industry corporations. There is big money on that bisness and it's always about getting more money. And it's very bad for business if media corporations publish the information of how U.S guns has be used by X to unarmed people by people who are supported by these armaments industry and U.S goverment. And when big corporations controls how the information is released in news, for the people. They control what people is thinking and talking. Even that those corporations cant control who can express their opinion, they can control what is public opinion.
- Shutter lag can be fixed by just pressing shutter button to half-way. More worse thing is long start time, it can be fast situation and taking camera from case/pocket is slowest thing, but if camera starts itself 2-4 seconds, shutter lag does not mean anything then.
- zoom range, I would just look camera what has at least 28-85mm (35mm) zoom, then use the best zoom what you can get, legs... This is reason why I have compact and pocket camera, other for always-with-me with nice 28mm widelens and other little bigger what can be on backpack or case (or around neck) when pocket camera is on pocket, two cameras for both situation, without extra weight what cames with dSLR and people are afraid that you are professional.
- Noise is currently the #1 problem, thats why I dont like at all canons pocket cameras. But there is fix, neat image or noise ninja and there is no problem anymore. I use those even for dSLRs because sometimes you need to go over 400-800 ISO and noise grows too be terrible even on dSLR cameras.
- purple fringing, there is "no actual" fix, same problems you have with dSLR lenses, you need to test and check that photo what you get are sharp and fringing does not exist... Not all lenses do that. Many dSLR buyer byes later somekind Sigma or other 24-75mm lens with ~F2.8-3.2 and those can be so soft that you need to set aperture at least to 5.6 or 6.0 to get some way a sharper photo. I like the Adobe lightroom and few other softwares what has nice features to remove purple fringing. The lens softness cant be done anything, on dSLR its easy to buy new objective and cheap if body was about 3500$ but good compact camera usually is even less than good lens for dSRL;-)
- RAW this is the real problem, actually you need to look only a camera what takes RAW photos and then filter those what has zoom range what is good enough (example: a 28-85mm (35mm)). Then fix all other problems with software on the after process.
Because if you shoot RAW, you are needed to work with photos after all with computer, so it's should not be such big problem to remove noise and purple fringing same time. Compact and pocket cameras just adds little more job to end of workflow, when dSLR*s demands more work in the start of workflow. Its just about the way of working and skills what knows can be done.
Check out Casio Exilim pro EX-F1. It's shutter speed is 1/40 000 and it takes 60 frames per second (FPS). Bad thing is, the sensor is only a 6Mpix but good news is, all photos are 6Mpix, even that you shoot with full speed. Other problem is, it transfer 180Mbytes per second when taking 60FPS. You can set camera to start storing photos before you have actually pressed button, so you dont miss a situation. Other bad things are it does not have good wide lens, only a 36-435mm lens (12x).
The normal point-and-shoot pocket cameras has great lag, some even when half-pressed. But many compact cameras are fine for street shooting and dSLR is not always needed. I would not shoot sports or other situations with 2.5FPS, even the 5FPS can be a slow today for such thing if I would only use continues shooting, usually I just relay by own timing and I'm fine with one shot. I had a Nikon D2X few months and I really liked it 8FPS but because it was cropped, it was very annoing, on film time I had motorback on every camera and it was nice on that time. Usually shooting can happend on low light conditions, that continues shooting is impossible.
The lens and sensor quality is never on same level than on dSLR but the quality on pocket/compact cameras can be enough to get great prints even for big sizes like 75x50cm.
My #1 dSLR is Mark II (8.2Mpix), #2 Canon 30D (8.2Mpix). with four lenses (from 14mm to 300mm).
My pocket/compact cameras are Olympus SP-570UZ (10Mpix, 26 mm - 520 mm) and Stylus 1030 SW (10Mpix, 28-100mm)
It is just far more easier to walk to public place and take compact camera and take good looking close-up photos from bands etc, without security or others coming asking special permission or others, this is case when not on job front of audience, but spending time with friends on freetime;-)
non-dSLR cameras are just nicer when going to holiday and then walking on night or spending time around location, it is just enought that you can set aperture, shutterspeed and ISO quality (what is good enough) on camera, and if you just get RAW, it is great bonus. If I really want to control the all situations, I might take the dSLR with me but it is not always needed. Know your gear, and you get fare more from them out than with just snapshotting with them.
Did I say that compact and pocket cameras image quality is same or better than dSLR? No, I did not say. But on most situations, it does not matter is your photo taken with 12Mpix dSRL + 5000$ objective or is it just snapped with 300$ 12Mpix compact camera when it is printed to news paper. You can fix all lens distortions with one button, fix colors and all kind stuff, but it still looks same if printer to news paper or normal paper (If takes with small ISO) without cropping too much etc. The difference comes when we start taking photos in extreme situations or we want to control the whole workflow and in the end, print 3x2 meter prints or release photos on magazine paper, with bigger cropping etc.
The photographing is bretty much "device sport", people thinks that what more expensive devices you buy, the better quality you always get. Photographing is art, skill and what most, it is science about light. You need to know how to "control" light and how to express yourself in photo. If you shoot people, you need to have good skills to control people, to get them express them self as you want them to look on photos.
Pro photographer can do all kind stuff with even cheap camera, it does not mean that he could do better job than with expensive gear, but it does not mean either that you would get better photographs than with cheap gear automatically. It's just all about skills and gear comes as second.
So when someone ask from me about what camera to buy, I never suggest them "Buy the most expensive what you can" or "Check this new model, it has 300Mpix"... It is always about the user where and how it is going to use that gear.
And when you know the limits of gear what you use, you get much more out of it, than user who does not know what the gear actually can handle. This is now very typical thing when people is now bying camera, they look automatically those 1000$ dSLR cameras and they just keep them on Auto or P mode and then they think they get -far- superior photos with them than small pocket camera. It is just like giving a ferrari or Humvee for 80 year old grandmom who would drive with it 20mph 1mile to church and back, with just made asfalt road.
What *we* can do when the goverments, corporations and organisations are corrupted and we cant turn to ask help from them, because those who has power, controls those who could help us....?
This is not victory for "terrorists" what are called as terrorists.
This is just a victory for real terrorist what is always the people who is leading the country and who are protecting their power by making these anti-terrorist bills. Those just gives them more power to do what ever they want and no one can stop them.
It is not about bombing, suicide bombigs or car bombs, those are not reasons or as usually, not even true who is doing them. It is always about the power and who is in control of country, it's like london metro bombings, it just "happend" to happend same time when there was going police trainings, on same stations, on same time and with exactly same scenarios.
Now the normal people is suffering of the terrorism, what the goverment is doing for people. It is the real terrorism and they use that to control us.
We cant take photos on holidays from our girl/boyfriends because you can be a terrorist, at least you are threat to national security.
We cant take photos of our childs to our family albums because it is tought you are taking them for childporn.
We cant speak freely and express our opinions of our goverments because it is same as supporting terrorism.
Soon you cant do anything in your own country if your leaders dont like it, they can just throw you to jail with anykind anti-terrorism bill.
I'm professional photographer and it is more dificult actually take photographs on public places when you are using dSLR camera, because normal humans believe that photos goes right away to news papers etc.
But these days you can buy compact cameras what are actually better than dSLR on normal use, like camera what shutter speed is 40'000/1 and you can take 60 FPS on 6Mpix. Or you can have camera what has 28-420mm (35mm) objective with 10-12Mpix.
You dont get dSLR inside to music concert if you dont have press card, because guards takes your camera away because you cant take photos without permission of the show. But they dont stop you taking inside these ultra-compact cameras what has bigger zoom on them, what would mean that you need to carry a huge zoom lens if using dSLR.
This is now actually gone too far away, it is harder to take even document photos on streets without someone coming to yell to you that they dont like to be in photos. And it was hard enough ten years ago to tell some people that I dont need to remove photos if I take them on public places and they are not in embarrassed situation. Now it is almost impossible to tell someone that I HAVE rights to take photos on public place, and I can remove them if I want to please them, but if they come to yell to me, I'm bretty sure that I do opposite thing and I dont remove them.
I never shoot people in embarrassed situation, but when people just sees the dSLR, reaction for it is more like someone would say "We must support communistic party" in U.S on the 4th july. But I can take photos easily without problems when using pocket or compact camera what has bigger zoom and more megapixels than my dSRL.
Funny, I just watched that movie (The Running Man) yesterday.....
Actually the "Butcher of Bakersfield" part was not manipulated, only a cut and rejoined the voice parts. This technology would be used on the later part where captain freedom "killed" Ben Richards..

There's a difference between having an EULA for google services and an EULA for google browser and they should be different. I can understand anything I upload to google being google's property henceforth, but anything I upload using their browser?
1.1 and 11.1 parts are saying that all what you download/upload/see trought chrome is Google's. But after 10.1 it seems that "Service" does not anymore mean software (chrome, google earth, picasa etc) but software is after it refered as "Software", so 11.1 is not valid for chrome, only for webpages and services.
Can someone check what 1.1, 10.1 and 11.1 mean?

Technically Linux is the operating system. At least if you follow computer science books literally.
Just checked, konqueror use own process for every tab, you can move tabs, detach them from mainwindow as own window and then copy it back to other window.
I dont know does Konqueror run tabs as separated process but at least you can move tabs top of the address bar. And you can easily detach the tab from window.
I hope in KDE4.2 konqueror would get samekind address bar as Firefox did on 3.0.
Webkit is part of Qt4 now. You can make easily browser with it to run on Linux, Windows NT or Mac OS X.

It is not about bombing, suicide bombigs or car bombs, those are not reasons or as usually, not even true who is doing them. It is always about the power and who is in control of country, it's like london metro bombings, it just "happend" to happend same time when there was going police trainings, on same stations, on same time and with exactly same scenarios.
Now the normal people is suffering of the terrorism, what the goverment is doing for people. It is the real terrorism and they use that to control us.
We cant take photos on holidays from our girl/boyfriends because you can be a terrorist, at least you are threat to national security.
We cant take photos of our childs to our family albums because it is tought you are taking them for childporn.
We cant speak freely and express our opinions of our goverments because it is same as supporting terrorism.
Soon you cant do anything in your own country if your leaders dont like it, they can just throw you to jail with anykind anti-terrorism bill.
I'm professional photographer and it is more dificult actually take photographs on public places when you are using dSLR camera, because normal humans believe that photos goes right away to news papers etc.
But these days you can buy compact cameras what are actually better than dSLR on normal use, like camera what shutter speed is 40'000/1 and you can take 60 FPS on 6Mpix. Or you can have camera what has 28-420mm (35mm) objective with 10-12Mpix.
You dont get dSLR inside to music concert if you dont have press card, because guards takes your camera away because you cant take photos without permission of the show. But they dont stop you taking inside these ultra-compact cameras what has bigger zoom on them, what would mean that you need to carry a huge zoom lens if using dSLR.
This is now actually gone too far away, it is harder to take even document photos on streets without someone coming to yell to you that they dont like to be in photos. And it was hard enough ten years ago to tell some people that I dont need to remove photos if I take them on public places and they are not in embarrassed situation. Now it is almost impossible to tell someone that I HAVE rights to take photos on public place, and I can remove them if I want to please them, but if they come to yell to me, I'm bretty sure that I do opposite thing and I dont remove them.
I never shoot people in embarrassed situation, but when people just sees the dSLR, reaction for it is more like someone would say "We must support communistic party" in U.S on the 4th july.
But I can take photos easily without problems when using pocket or compact camera what has bigger zoom and more megapixels than my dSRL.
Funny, I just watched that movie (The Running Man) yesterday.....
Actually the "Butcher of Bakersfield" part was not manipulated, only a cut and rejoined the voice parts. This technology would be used on the later part where captain freedom "killed" Ben Richards..
These two (article) technologies IMHO are more important than Photosynth
