Re: How do you calculate?

[Erez D]

For trivial calculations i use dc
For more complex one i use octave (which is also good for linear algebra,
matrix inversion etc...)
If i have X (which is not always the case), i can also use hp48 emulator ( i
have a real hp48sx which i used while i was in the technion).
somtime i just type it into google search (usually for currency conversions,
but not only).

cheers,
erez.

Re: Hebrew e-mail - Mandriva 2010.0 - KDE4

[Shlomo Solomon]

I tried that and it does work, but there's no way I'll get my wife to do that 
- there's got to be an easier way :-(

Is the KDE team or the people who handle Hebrew support aware of this problem? 
Should it be reported as a bug?

A. I'm not sure an RLM will actually solve the problem.
B. Assuming an RLM will solve the problem, it is a character available 
on the lyx keyboard. This will, definitely, drive him less nuts. RLM is 
also, theoretically, available on the standard keyboard, but due to some 
(by now well known) limitations in the standard, no one seemed to have 
implemented them.

I can confirm this extremely annoying problem in KMAIL under Fedora.

The only way I know to get punctuation at the end of a line in Hebrew is 
to right click and choose insert unicode character and choose RLE start 
right to left embedding. This drives me nuts when I need to send a lot of 
Hebrew emails !

Re: How do you calculate?

[Marmor, Eli]

What's bad with printf() using gcc?
And you can choose any precision or even formatiing.

Re: OT: flash is not dead - smokescreen.

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

I saw the demos, which are nice, but those are chosen demos. We'll need to
see it when it goes out and be tested extensively.

one thing though: If you use flash on Firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, IE6, IE7, IE8
the flash file will run at the same speed across the board. With
smokescreen's method, it really depends if it supports SVG, and how fast is
your JS engine, so on one browser it will look great but on the other you
might see it has sluggish performance.

OT: flash is not dead - smokescreen.

[Erez D]

As apple does not allow to run flash on the iphone
And as there are many people used to designing in flash
and for some other reasons ...

There is an open sourec project called smokescreen, which runs flash using
HTML5 & JS
http://smokescreen.us/

so,
Is it good or bad for us ?

Hi,

I asked this few months ago and I'm still looking for one: Anyone knows
about a full (or part) Linux system admin job in the center area? (I could
also work from home). If you know anything, please share with me.

Thank you very much,
