Cinelerra seemed to have LOTS of potential; I really liked its ability to network render things. However, it was clear that whoever designed the UI was likely a programmer, not as much a video editor. I found it incredibly complicated and once again, couldn't get my feet off the ground when attempting its use.
Cinelerra has a really, really steep learning curve and a quirky UI. However, I found it was worth the time to learn it because once you get past the initial intimidation, it's immensely powerful. I would rather kickstart a project to write comprehensive and useful documentation for Cinelerra than put anything towards yet another video editor.
The Web developers need to do some work. Yes, dragging to select text activates the popup. But clicking on the page and hitting Ctrl-A to select everything in one fell swoop doesn't activate the popup.
Oops. Did I just describe how to break a Digital Lock? Oh noes... Harper and his gang will be after me....
I run an unsecured WiFi network (no WEP, WPA or WPA2).
On the other hand, the only traffic accepted by my access concentrator is OpenVPN traffic. So yes, anyone can get an IP address from my DHCP server, but they can't do much with it unless they somehow break SSL public-key auth or obtain a copy of my key and certificate.
Well, yeah. The entire Catholic church is IMO a corrupt criminal organization no better than the mafia, so it really doesn't matter who's in charge. The system needs dismantling. I think Deliver Us from Evil should be required watching for anyone contemplating becoming a priest.
Just come up with identifiers that are convenient for you. My daughter's university does this; students end up with email addresses that look something like 78jqt7@queensu.ca. It so happens that the jqt part is the student's initials, but that doesn't really matter.
Think of an email address like a phone number. Except in rare cases, there's no connection between your phone number and your name.
That's utter nonsense. Perl's DBI modules are fantastic for DB access.
Perl is just not shiny and new any more. It's still used in a lot of places. Our commercial products are written in Perl and I like the fact that Perl isn't changing wildly. Perl 6 worried me for a while, but it's obvious that Perl 6 is going nowhere and Perl 5 is continuing to be maintained.
I own a small business (B2B sales though, not retail) and my biggest complaint about payment processors is that we have no idea how much each credit-card transaction is costing us. The fee schedule is impossible to figure out and we don't know ahead of time how much a transaction will cost because it depends on the type of card the customer has (Premium, "Gold", "Rewards", etc...)
I would like to see legislation passed that does the following things:
Forces payment processors to tell merchants what the fee is for each and every transaction before it is processed.
Permits merchants to display the fee to customers.
Permits merchants to charge that fee to customers should they wish to.
Islam is whatever it's convenient to be for the audience. For liberal Westerners, it presents one face. For the oppressed people under the yoke of Islam, it presents a completely different face.
No, I would argue that it's a diabolically inhuman strategy to keep the sheep in line, completely at odds with any shred of morality, and so repugnant that any philosophy that espouses it deserves to be erased from history.
What are you talking about? The Torah is unchanged in thousands of years. In fact, some passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran are word-for-word identical to passages in the modern Torah.
there are scientists or scholars who debate religious issues, which is much like peer-reviewing in modern science.
There is a huge difference: In Islam (and most religions), there are certain debates you Cannot Do. How far do you think an Islamic scholar would get if he said "Y'know, I don't believe in this whole Allah thing. We need to rethink it."?
In science, at least in theory, questioning anything is allowed and encouraged if you can come up with objective evidence for questioning it.
Yes, I've read the qur'an, more than once, but more importantly, I also read commentaries of it, explaining the context.
That's a very common tactic used by Muslims (and quite a few Christians and Jews, for that matter) to explain away the despicable things in their holy books. It's a very good tactic to cloud the issue, confuse critics, and avoid dealing with the real problem which is the fundamentally disgusting nature of Islam (and Christianity and Judaism... but we're talking about Islam here for now.)
Islam of any sort is dangerous, retrograde and regressive. Even the most "enlightened" version of Islam has no redeeming qualities compared to its negative qualities.
This is true of most religion, but Islam currently happens to be the most dangerous to the future of humanity.

So what do you call the affirmative believe in the absence of an invisible pink unicorn that haunts my refrigerator? "Faith"?

I put my parents on Debian Linux and didn't give them the root password.
For web browsing, email, word-processing, it's great. And that's pretty much all they do anyway.
That's OK because it stops DoubleClick from tracking you to a completely different web site example2.org.

Making a perfectly accurate progress bar that works in any situation is equivalent to solving the halting problem. Can't be done.
And if your task is interacting with the network, how can it predict things like your DSL connection dying for a couple of minutes?

Diebold machines are infallible, you insensitive clod.
Good. So the misogynist regressive pope who covers up sexual abuse is resigning.
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee the next one will be any better.
The idea is good, but in practice it's horrible. Here's what we do:
We never give a bonus to anything scoring SPF "pass" unless its from one of a few large domains that we know have good SPF records.
We add a small score (1 SpamAssassin point) for SPF softfail.
We add a moderate score in most cases for SPF fail.
For specific, often-phished domains like paypal.com and ebay.com, we add lots of points for SPF fail and softfail.
Hey, don't believe everything you read on the Internet! I'm going to check this puppy out!
OK... 2^57885161 - 1 is not even.
2^57885161 - 1 is not divisible by 3.
2^57885161 - 1 is not divisible by 5.
Hmm... this might take a while.

A shining example of religious logic: "My $HOLY_BOOK must be right because my $HOLY_BOOK says it is right. Therefore, my $HOLY_BOOK is right."

You've drunk the Islamic kool-aid, apparently.

No, but you revere an illiterate pedophile who wrote that his followers had to fight even if they thought they didn't want to.
