I can't see why Flash should need *any* HW accell to do video playback. A while back, I investigated performance of Flash on Linux and Windows, and mplayer on the same. I found that mplayer's *unaccelerated* [0] fullscreen playback of a particular HD video scraped from YouTube was 80-90% faster than doing the same with the latest Windows-based Flash plugin.

tl;dr: Flash *SUCKS* for video playback.

I *really* wish that my google-fu was not so weak today... I'd love to find the comment where I detailed all of this.

[0] x11 video out under Linux and -IIRC- directx:noaccel under Windows.

A forcefield is not glass, duh. It's also not made of matter. :D

SS2 would not have been the same without the bugs. *shudders*

Oh, excellent! I have a statement and a question:

I'm running Gentoo Unstable x86. I recently inserted the consolekit and policykit USE flags into my make.conf. The HAL automounter no longer functions for USB block devices *or* SD/MMC cards that I insert into my system. Additionally, K3B no longer detects the presence of my USB CD/DVD burner.
Do you have any idea how to fix my issue?

Note that I can insert a USB block device, or stick a disc into that burner and manually mount it with no issues.

In FF, you can keep typing 'sla' and selecting the same page, and FF will get the hint and start sticking that page that you visit most often at the top of the list.

*shrug* /me *really* hopes that the Mozilla folks get enough fan-mail so's that they don't remove The Bar. :D

You *do* know that you can highlight an entry in The Bar with the keyboard and press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove it from the current (and all future) searches? [This is not to say that re-visiting that site will not put it back in The Bar, though.]

*nods* Additionally, it weights results by the *characters that are typed* to access a page in the AwesomeBar.

In my case:
"blogs." to reach blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/
"sor" to reach blogs.msdn.com/michcap/

Ooh! I *LOVE* this game!

On my Toughbook CF-30, the PM stuff Just Fucking Worked. I get four to eight hours [0] of battery life, at ~half screen brightness with the wifi and Bluetooth active.

[0] Depending on how much compiling I'm doing during that charge.

*boggles* How much video data could one fit on a record? And at what fidelity? *continues boggling*

What did you think of Mass Effect?
Best moments?
Worst moments?
Overall opinion?

What ending did you and your friend take? Also, did the Paragon and Renegade meters have any affect on the gameplay?

Your two demands are only an issue if you're using a link-local address. Try using a globally routable address and see the difference.

I'd like to use jumbo frames on my wired LAN. It's my understanding that all interfaces on a VLAN *must* use the same MTU, unless one wants to run into problems.
a) Is my understanding correct?
b) Can you configure each wired port into its own VLAN, so that one can connect 100mbit devices and jumbo-frame GigE devices into the same router?

(Sorry, too lazy to use Google atm.) :(

'Cause most of us don't have 32 world-routeable IPv4 addresses to play with? Some of us in the East don't even have one!
