[PLUG] Re: Live CD for undergrad OS lab (Rahul Sundaram)
Hi, I would suggest to Install a Linux Distribution on the computers in the lab rather than using a live CD, which is not manageable. The problem that will arise is the Directory Maintainence, but can be done by providing a global Username Password say for example Username : Student And Password : Student. _ Catch the cricket action with MSN! http://content.msn.co.in/Sports/Cricket/Default.aspx -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

[PLUG] Re: Flash player mozilla
Hi all, I had used Adobe's implemention of flash with firefox it did work sometimes but it crashed too often for my comfort. I have been looking forward to the 2 free flash implementations which are in the making, one is gnash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnash the other one is swfdec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swfdec , both have mature communities behind them so it should be cool to see how they come up/shape up. There is also lot of stuff which is going to be happening with HTML 5 hope it comes to fruition (as in day-to-day usage) soon http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video SVG. I say about both these formats as these are free formats. Ok, now how do both the free flash implementations work out in the real world, well its not to the level you expect if you are expecting instant gratification. But that's also because Adobe's flash has been since forever while both these apps. have something like a yr. or more history behind them. If people are interested in knowing/using these, join the ML the IRC help make it better. Another 6-8 months of testing should make things better. Also better is if there is mozillateam for your fav. distro. You can also work with them, the end result everybody is happy having fun. -- Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Consider gettimeofday(). Whats the point of having two int/longs in a struct when a float would have sufficed? Not to mention calculating time interval etc are bit easier? Just a thought..
