The old favicon would show up for me in the url box and on the tabs, but would not show in the Bookmarks/Bookmarks Toolbar Folder ... but the new one works in all three areas ! I did like the touch of blue in the old one...would it be difficult to add that splash back to the new and improved...

I was having some weird issues (i.e. gnome desktop fails to come up properly and hangs the system) with the last Ubuntu RC. Browsing through ubuntu forums suggests I was not alone in this experience .... I'm going to install the 6.06 release on the weekend. And speaking of hanging desktops...

I should add that "the Jem Report" has produced a Hacking Suse Linux 10.1

I think the (majority of the) problems I experienced were result of two reasons: 1. I believe the makeSUSEdvd program/script did not properly create the DVD iso from the (5 +1) CD iso's. In particular, something about the package handler was borked, and who only knows how many downstream...

Should read: Next installation attempt, works

Currently I'm highly dissapointed with my two days of "use". I've had numberous problems -- many of which appear to be shared by others, as witnessed on the different Suse user forums I browsed. Until I can rule out that my crappy install luck wasn't the result of either bad media or burn...

By "Excellent" and "very good", I mean that it was down right sobering. One could watch them and easily become very depressed. But there were also messages of hope in there too.

I watched NOVA last night too. Excellent show. The Matt Dameon narrated "State of the Planet's Wildlife" that followed afterwards on PBS was also very good. ... goes hand in hand with the National Geographic shows I mentioned previously (exactly one year plus a day).

oops, chopped the first part off by mistake. Anyways: Ahh, I see. Sounds like the QT install includes a MJPEG codec -- probably just a dshow version-- and that is why Canon advised it....there's nothing like advising you install bloat :) Of interest, I believe virtualdub, which is a video...

That page is not related to FFmpeg. That page is from a repository site that a Doom9 forum member, boobar, created to hold different builds of various video codecs and software. That page in particular has a gazillion different builds of ffdshow. You can read here about ]FFmpeg. The main...

I have no idea why the avi's stopped working -- check what sort of permissions are set on these files etc etc ...but if you don't want to spend time tracking this annomially down: re-encoding would be a waste of time & energy (electrical) what you should do is look to extract the content from...

The answer is both yes and no. Quicktime refers to both a file format/container and a media player. Directshow is an MS api for media content. Many popular media players in windows land (like widows media player, MPC, zoomplayer etc etc....) are dshow based. ds based media players require...

You can find all the info in the: AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Power and Thermal Data Sheet PDF which is found in the Technical Documentation for each processor family (A64, FX, Turion, Sempron....)

I was just reading a comment by A.P. Lawrence about EFI, and following the rabbit down the whole, read through this quick guide to TDM. Made me think of Merc's recent conundrum. Obviously unhelpful to that situation...but perhaps helpful for other sets of circumstances. Who knows, maybe...

That would depend entirely upon the configuration settings for the choice of codecs (audio and video) that he uses. .avi is just the container format.

They use Extensible Firmware Interface as opposed to Open Firmware

Memory chips are currently divided divided into 4 internal banks. These internal banks are what are referred too when talking about memory interleave. Using memory interleave has a lot to do with saving on power, localization on storing data, and umm other things that I can't remember. Only...

with just about any distro that includes the appropriate Xorg version .... which will soon mean almost every distro, given the likely universal transition to 6.9/7.0

Continuing with my trend of self-correction: Well, what I said isn't necessarily true. Older EpiOS releases would support your Samuel 2 processor, but they would lack the OpenChrome drivers. New EpiOS releases include the OpenChrome drivers, but currently wont support any pre-Nehemiah C3 cores...

Hmm. Yes, that's some mighty fine writing I got going there. Anyways: I stand corrected. The Samuel 2 core was indeed Via's "Willamette" of the C3 cores....it should give your average 486 a run for its money. Indeed. I've seen cpus suck before, but those Samuel 2's are the suckiest bunch of...

Sorry, I was wrong...What I remembered was the Winfast DV2000 model, and while it does have DV/1394 input, it is only a software encoding card...as well, I kind of doubt its still available anywhere.

mubs, I don't do DV (no current need ... i.e no DV cam to play with), but extracting the knowledge I have from other areas I can provide some insights...just bear in mind that my ignorance to DV editing may mean I'm subject to error in spots. But anyways: I'm curious on your need for PAL inputs...

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C3 and its embedded links for more details.

Bear in mind you're not getting a new C3....While I don't think the Samuel 2 core was Via's "Willamette", it probably is a lot more sucker then the newer Nehemiah core.

Not the processor. Some northbridges, on the other hand, yes. You still need drivers to take advantage of the acceleration though. See the OpenChrome project...in particular, that page I linked above....for a linux distro with everything already added, see the EpiOS

They would likely work well with SDTV Mpeg2 sources (see the OpenChrome Project) ... but not much else in terms of video....given the generation age of the underlining components [C3 (samual), chipset (cle266) and embedded graphics (Unichrome)) Who are the boards made by? Putting C3/2000+...

Try Anandtech without Flashblock and Adblock ... warning, may cause blindness

Hello Mr.Kurns. I bad want money now. Me sick. Ooh he card reads good.

I found it mighty percular that I would provide my password, have it accepted, and then (say 10 minutes later) be asked for the password on the account again...Anyways, as I said above, something seems to have corrected that, as I no longer seem to have that issue...Bloodly annoying it was though.

Okay, I checked that password authentication issue. I opened up two instances of KSysGuard, having one display system load and the other the process table. Sure enough, as soon as the password authenticate box comes up, cpu usage rises ~20%. Looking in the process table shows two firefox...

I would persume so..but I can't say for sure...I wasn't looking at what was displayed in the process table, as I was pretty darn sure it was related to FF and not anything else ---> I think I checked originally, as I seem to recall viewing FF being the cpu hog...But when I finally nailed it...

Lots of ground loop problems too. The front panel jacks on my SFF were pretty terrrible until I essentially duplicated the fix outlined in this thread ... I have a Soltek, but same problem ... same excellent outcome after "modification".

Are you guys running your mail app in the background? For a good while running now, I had noticed that on occasion something was pegging my CPU at ~25%. At first I thought it was simply a case of mal-behaved web pages -- those encumbered with flash crap came to mind. Then came the day that I...

It is unfortunate to see that beblu announced that they are closing up shop. In happier news, this is a rather interesting mini-cluster.

I know Gilbo was quite interested in ZFS and had been doing some research on it (....I have no clue if he's actually tried it out). As for trying it out, perhaps the OpenSolaris live CD ? ( BeleniX )

:D Enjoyed that

Thanks for all the good suggestions guys, and thanks for the offer mubs. I think I'll opt to seek out some sort of home remedy along the lines of those mentioned above -- with the added ambiton of also achievng a lower coefficent of friction .... Mu - scourage of mouse feet everywhere

I had some difficulty with that Genesis chipset

I'm sure there has got to be some sort of solution at Home Depot just begging to be found....awefully big store though.

The feet on my mouse have become fairly worn, and actually one (of the original five) has, at some unbeknownst time, fallen off and likely fell victim to the vaccum. I remembered that Merc had once mentioned that he had called Logitech in regards to obtaining some replacement parts. So I...

I kind of suspected that the video Groltz had linked too was going to be the one of the girl folding the t-shirt....I saw it maybe two years ago (I think honold posted a link to it). Anyways, what she does really works -- only takes a couple of attempts and you get pretty decent at it.....but I...

...and be on ebay by Wednesday

I can endorse Filtech and do indeed try to purchase from them when possible. Its a small store located on the east side of Spadina and resides about 4 or 5 stores south of College. They generally have competitive prices on most items (either matching street price or besting it by a buck or...

Quicktime for Windows blows goats, and Apple's implementation of H.264/AVC is rather poor in comparison to others (lacks many of the features found in other implementations of AVC as available in Ateme's, x264, ...)

For Windows based playback of Mpeg 4 AVC see this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_House_of_Commons I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Take a look at edawg's prediction. The result of which would be a Conservative government. A minority Conservative government. A very weak minority government. Now contrast that to the...

Personally, I think X-bit's title is a bit misleading, but nonetheless, its an interesting news piece.

Me thinks me understood that perfectly -- my post addresses the very humour implied by Mark

I'm honestly at a loss for words to explain the recent reversal in fortunes in a few Dell cases....but I don't count on it lasting too long. I'm sure this is just a minor fluctuation and that the regular state of order in the Dell universe will soon be restored.
