In Arch the AUR directory has packages called fontconfig-ubuntu, cairo-ubuntu, and libxft-ubuntu , i found when i compiled those my font rendering was the same as ubuntus. Maybe Gentoo has the same packages, or you could grab the sources from AUR and compile them manually?

Agreed, I went to find a nice apartment in Toronto and realized that it only caters to New Yorkers. Craigslist allows me to find almost anything ANYWHERE.

The "read", "post", and "history" tabs are far to large in my opinion. The fonts could also use some work..

for an extra 130 bucks they will play the games for you too

The colour choice is what makes it really unreadable, the font isn't that bad.

I have very little experience programming so i figured an embedded system would give me a good "ground up" approach to learning some programming. I've heard good things about lua, i was considering ADA (rock solid stability is key for this project) or smalltalk. I'm still in the planning stages of everything involving this project and infact i'm going to build a midibox first to get familiar with embedded systems and circuit design. Some people have made some impressive controllers, and synths with the project.

I'm currently planning out a project that involves building a OSC controller using an ARM chip. I hope I will be able to use scheme to write the firmware for the device, that would be swell (and much more fun than using ASM).

Even if the blogger was lead to believe that she slept around, he would still be cleared of charges.

It is my understanding that libel is only libel if you are aware that it is a lie. If the blogger was honestly convinced that this women was a skank, then the blogger would be be guilty of defamation...

They probably mean "it doesnt' work with itunes"

As someone who was bullied for the better part of his early school career (kindergarden to grade 6) i'm going to have to say that if a group of kids cant understand that gang beating someone is wrong, they deserve to be put in a special school.

I guess I need to stop lurking... 184 karmas to go!

It still needs a good defrag once in a while.

I never knew that. Thanks!

I dream of the day where I could potentially have my own audio hardware startup for under a couple grand. Being able to print custom parts would make it so much more viable to make boutique audio equipment, instruments, etc.

Just select your furniture from a computer and the automated ikea design system will automagically build your furniture infront of you. You could even make slight modifications on the spot.

I'm pretty sure Gates did LSD ..

Are you serious?

I would say if he took Tylenol in his life he would be more likely to get liver damage from that. I can't even find one study showing ANY relationship between liver damage and LSD.

It could easily be a gadget or extension for google wave, the protocol is already there.

I could see this working as a gadget in google wave as well.

Wouldn't it be better to stay tagged? If you are tagged you can set privacy settings to restrict views on photos tagged of you. Without that the photos are still visible.

I wish for the day where my internet connection can keep up with these services. Where is 100/100mbit when i need it?

Or even a simulated "super" body. Human bodies are quite limited in the amount of information it can take in at once. I think you could potentially simulate a "body" with a million times more senses than a human. It's all a matter of sensory input.
