Submission + - Fluke Donates Real Multimeters to SparkFun as goodwill gesture (facebook.com)
SparkFun is most likely going to give them away.
A great example of win-win-win?
I have been using BTRFS for a while now with no problems. Even been through a couple of unclean shut downs, and unplugging mounted drives.
I suspect that some of people reporting corruption have bad hardware. If they run ext4 the corruption happens, but they never notice. When they switch to BTRFS it spots the corruption quickly because of checksumming, and makes noise about it. Not to say that BTRFS is bug free, but neither is any other file system.
Because BTRFS actually checks for corruption unlike older file-systems.
The SELinux debugging thingy popped up, and i used the 2 line command that it suggested.
you just need to allow the portal2 binary to use execheap. Now obviously its not good that portal2 uses execheap, but SELinux is fine grained enough to allow for it.
I suggest that this is done to children (especially noisy ones) on airplanes, so study radiation doses from cosmic rays.
But can it measure the harm done by fear of radiation?
Looks like there are some parts (MPEG decoding) that will never be open. But there's a plan to make a open source firmware that is sufficient to boot.

Libreoffice supports Appleworks documents. Maybe she could migrate.
If you open blender on a fresh install you see a 3d view of a cube, and nothing that looks much like a time line. I tried dragging a video file into various bits of the interface and nothing happened. A bit of hunting finds me a 'video sequence editor', that sounds right, but when I drop a clip on it says "Error: file '/foo/bar.mp4' could not be loaded". Useful. Ok, so lets assume that it actually meant 'I don't have a codec for MP4', so i'll try a webm. now I have a block with the name of my file on the time line. But there is no viewer in site. If I press play then a green bar moves across the time line, but I see nothing.
Now I know that if I sat down and read the docs I could make a whole film using blender. But it is not the user friendly video editor that pitiiv is aiming to be.
I consider fracking to be just as bad as all other fossil fuel extraction, which is pretty bad.
Ubuntu still as the 0.15.x series. You should have a look at the recent improvements in 0.92. There is a PPA https://launchpad.net/~gstream...
I think pitivi is aiming to be usable for a different set of users than blender. Pitivi lets you just drag video clips into time line without worrying about resolutions, frame rates or codecs. Achieving the same process in blender requires quite a bit more work.
Vim and emacs are great tools, but it does not mean that we don't need gedit and kate.
While Cinelerra is very capable, it also seems to be an unmaintainable code dump. The community project can just about get it in a state that it builds, but I am not aware that they have added any features to it. IIRC the community devs though it would be better to start again from scatch, with a project called something like Luminara, but I can't find much about that now.
On the other hand Pitivi is build on a solid base of libraries that are used widely in other peices of software. Even if pitivi were not to succede then it would have created the tools for other people to build an editor. It also provides a base of libraries for experimental editors like Nova cut.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
