Comment YES! (Score 1) 497

Finally, it's coming through! In the context of replacing totally the services provided by classic telephony, we must set up neutral IP traffic classes (VoIP over mobile radio link do *NOT* work reliably, and won't be after broad adoption of the FTTH). Indeed, the idea is to give priority to voice traffic on client initiative. The *only* allowed exception to this rule would be emergency calls, because that has to be done at the ISP initiative. We can even think of a video stream for emergency calls! With enough good video quality... imagine the amount of people we could additionnally save thanks to the video!!! We already have the terminals able to do so! We need to set up that next gen Internet ASAP!

Comment context to express brilliance (Score 1) 322

... some need a very specific context to be able to express their brilliance... it is not enough to just let them "outside". They should check if the context those people are in is proper to maximize their brilliance output. For instance, rights on the code they write is *very* important for ope source software. The Linux community is very strong because coders keep and don't share ligthtly their rigths on the code. It has drawbacks (unable to go to (A)GPLv3 limited by userspace), but it is a very strong protection. If a company could distribute a closed and proprietary version of Linux, they would do it for sure (cf opensolaris/solaris case and darwin/macos case).

Comment gthumb to default (Score 1) 900

Indeed they are rigth on one point: gimp has a complex GUI for basic photo editing. The proper way is to go like blender, split the engine and the GUI. But I thougth GEGL was that engine, then it's a matter to have basic photo edition done with this engine. As far as I'm concern, people around me prefer gthumb by far, it is more usuable, more stable, damn faster, damn leaner etc... Maybe 10.04 is also the time to default to gthumb.
