thunderrd@QX9650:~$ uname -a Linux QX9650 4.0.0-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 19 10:44:56 ICT 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.90GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I built it a few days ago, so far no problems, other than I had to patch the nvidia v340.76 driver file to cooperate with...

http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-gnu-manifesto-turns-thirty Richard Stallman's opus was published in March, 1985, and he's still challenging the system with his free software ideals.

The Boss says that the next kernel release will be 4.0, after a developers' survey that asked if they were ready to start a new numbering series. The next kernel would have been 3.20 if the devs hadn't voted for 4.0. He says the new number series doesn't mean that much, except that "I can do...

From the CEO of Brocade: http://fortune.com/2015/03/15/why-a-free-and-open-internet-is-pointless/ TL;DR - The infrastructure is ancient, and the FCC has reclassified the Internet as a public utility. I think you all can guess what's coming next. Yup, more government overseeing our lives!

And ultimately, it's all the US government's fault. If they hadn't throttled my personal hero Phil Zimmermann and Co. in the '90's with the exportation of PGP, everyone would have freely been able to access the best possible encryption schemes...

The best thing to do - always - when you have troubleshooting like this is to post in the forum, not PM a member. PM'ing your member of choice will most likely result in no help at all; we do our business on an open forum for a reason, and that is so others can benefit from the work. You...

Looks like it's in hard drive firmware this time: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/russian-researchers-expose-breakthrough-us-spying-program/ar-BBhE3Fx

Or this:

And this just about sums it all up:

Try using apt-get if synaptic is failing you. I seem to remember multiple problems with the nvidia drivers and the package manager, but it's been a long time since I used it. In Sid, I use apt-get for everything, and it works every time; I'd think you might have similar results in *buntu.

Yeah, it's a sad day. Not.

Yep...one more year goes by. Thanks for the good thought, George.

Brian, is the behavior the same if the guide has only jpg files in it? [or: Can you test it for me when you have time? IDK if we have an all-jpg guide as yet]

One of my shops has a fiber entry into the building. The FO cable goes into some kind of black box, a fiber optic converter, and from there into a standard router. I'm guessing if I had a proper FO-capable router I would just bypass the converter.

No CP options exist to change the behavior we're after. I'm talking to Gizmo about it, but it doesn't seem like there's a viable alternative. At this point, the best we can do to alleviate the load speed is to make sure future images are in the more compressed jpg format. That way, the new...

I'll see if there are options for that purpose.

I think it's a good idea not just for us, but for visitors who might have weak connections, so it's a win all around. My connections are quite fast, so I probably wouldn't think of it myself, but for others it could mean a lot. Thanks to Allen for thinking of it.
