I'll never forget something my first news director (John Butler at WSYR AM570 in Syracuse, New York) told me the first week I was on the job.
Butler said, "There's something interesting about everyone – it's a reporter's job to try and find it!"
That's another goal of this blog, to find interesting things to write, share and discuss with you about various topics including:
In no particular order, those elements generally touch all the bases of everything that I've found worth discussing in this life – mainly because they're common aspects of our collective existence.

A righteous woman determined to have children.
Reprinted with permission from Who's Who in the Hebrew Bible (The Jewish Publication Society).
Tamar married Er, Judah's firstborn son, who died young and childless. Judah told his second son, Onan, to marry Tamar and thus provide offspring for his dead brother. Onan, unwilling to have his children carry his brother's name, spilled his seed on the ground whenever he made love to Tamar. He also died childless.
Judah, fearful that his youngest son, Shelah, would also go to an early grave if he married Tamar, told her, "Stay as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up (Genesis 38:11)."
Judah soliciting Tamar
Years went by, Shelah grew up, but Judah didn't marry him to Tamar. After Judah's wife died and the mourning period was over, Judah went with his sheep shearers and his friend Hirah to Timnath, near the home of Tamar's parents.
Tamar was told that her father-in-law was coming for the sheep shearing. She took off her widow's garments, wrapped herself, and--with her face covered by a veil--sat by the side of the road.
Judah saw her and didn't recognize her. He approached her and, assuming that she was a harlot, told her that he wanted to sleep with her. "What," she asked, "will you pay for sleeping with me?" "I will send a kid from my flock," promised Judah.
Tamar said, "You must leave a pledge until you have sent it." "What pledge shall I give you?" "Your seal and cord, and the staff which you carry," said Tamar (Genesis 38:16–18). She received the pledges and slept with him. Then she went home, took off her veil, and put back her widow's clothing.
Judah, a man of his word, sent his friend Hirah with the young goat to receive his pledges back from the harlot. Hirah asked some men, "Where is the cult prostitute, the one at Enaim, by the road?" "There has been no prostitute here," they answered (Genesis 38:21).
Unable to find her, Hirah returned to Judah and told him that he couldn't find the harlot. Judah said, "Let her keep them, lest we become a laughingstock. I did send her this kid, but you did not find her (Genesis 38:23)."
Three months later, Judah was told that Tamar was pregnant. Judah, furious, ordered that she be brought to him and burned. Tamar, brought to the presence of Judah, showed him the pledges and said, "I am pregnant from the man who owns these things. Can you tell to whom do they belong?"
Judah examined them, recognized that they were his and said, "She is right, because I never gave her my son Shelah (Genesis 38:25–26)." He was never intimate with her again.

yes they double and so the resolution and codec complexity of the videos!Originally Posted by Qaridarium
hey, who said new chips won't incorporate this support?and hey the UVD unit can not handle VP8/webM means your statement is pointless for HTML5+webM
All the web is moving towards HD content, even the cheapest and smallest linux devices can do it if they have nvidia hardware onboard and if you think video acceleration is only for htpc then discussion is pointless.Originally Posted by mirv
Just tell me the name of your planet and... naah not again :P
be sure. today you only get 1650x1050 and only 24hz peer eye and mostly no stereoscoopic view.
double the resolution is a no way on the mass market.
and codec complexity no i don't think so mpeg2 is used today LOL and h264 is years old on an long time of period you will net get any better than h264-stereoscoopic view.
and i think VP8 is less complex than h264-
on an long period you will not get any better than 1900x1200 pixels at 60fps with stereoscoopic view.
means no you don't get 4K resolutions with 100hz and multidimmensionalstereoscoopic views
means no.. every bullshit cpu in 2 years can handle this shit .
I really don't see the purpose of this thread other than flame baiting
What happened to superscalar thinking? Are we still in the times of this chip?Originally Posted by Qaridarium
What if the user not only watches a video but does something like this at the same time?
Destroy the video for several times and see the CPU cycles cry. It gets near the computation limit of my Athlon 64 X2 5600+ which is clearly a high-end class hardware. And this is only a low-res video
This is why video acceleration is so important. People won't be just watching the video but interacting with it and offloading video decode to the gpu is a good idea.
Your "low-end system does everything" theory can break easily with emerging technology so be careful with it...
Did you check your cpu usage? What happens if anything beside the browser is open on your desktop? And this is only a low-res 640x360 video...I can play it flawlessly (destroying the video several times) with my 1.4Ghz cpu and without any h264 offloading.
So let me understand the point of this thread.
AMD promised open specs, AMD delivered open specs.
Therefore, AMD is lying.
OK, great thread, enjoy it :P

Hi Aruthir,
Just checking in to answer this.... In the middle of moving, but hope to get back into visiting HASA again soon....
If you go to the Full Text Search in HASA Resources and search for "Aratan", you will find literally everything I ever found about both Aratan and Ciryon, all of which (IIRC) comes from the Disaster of the Gladden Fields chapter of Unfinished Tales.
Sorry there isn't any more.

This is a great article on why and how to take advantage of the hardware scaler available on Android platforms. This advice also applies to PC game developers where rendering to smaller buffers is common practice for performance reasons. Developers may also consider a hybrid approach where they render the 3d elements of their scene to a reduced resolution back buffer, scale this to the intended display resolution and then render 2D user interface elements such as text at the final display...

Since Jolla is linux, it should be possible to run steam on it. Imagine a future version where we can hook up a vidock to it and use the moga game pad and run the steam app on it with a jolla desktop UI with maybe a bluetooth mouse.
So your phone would replace a full desktop and maybe your laptop. You'd just be a little underpowered with the CPU for high end games but since you are hooking up to a vidock you are fine on graphics and can always upgrade it and you are running linux with a BT mouse.
Also it seems you need to install something called android compatibility on your jolla phone for certain android apps to work.
zsh is available too FYI.
Funny how the first phone from a tiny startup can look so much better than any Android phone ever made. The UI design, graphics, design of the case, it's all miles above any Android phone I've seen. And not to even mention iOS 7, what an eyesore that is...
Also, it runs Wayland! How cool is that?
Anywho, if I could justify spending 400 on a phone, I'd definitely get this one. I just don't use phones enough that I'd pay that much for one, but it definitely looks great, seems like Jolla can deliver what they promise.

So what you're saying is, I only need direct line documents, but ALL the American ones have to be translated? So, for instance, since I'm getting citizenship through my mother's ancestry, I don't need my father's birth record?
You're welcome.
To answer your questions, Yes and Yes. I had everyone's documents with apostille and translation, but they did not even want to look at them. They only want direct line as they say in the "scheme", which I found on the website. I'll paste it below. Notice it says Mother or Father (whichever one you're claiming through) and only those. They will ask for them one by one, write the info down and put it in a folder. Just that simple.
Specimen of information to be submitted on requesting the guide lines
Grand father (or great-grand father or simply father : any male ancestor born in Italy*):
information: full name
place and date of birth
place and date of marriage
place and date of death

father or mother (it depends on which ancestor is taken into consideration):
information: full name (maiden name for women)

place and date of death
place and date of naturalization (if applicable)
information: full name (maiden name for women)
place and date of birth
place and date of marriage (if applicable)
place and date of US (or other Country) naturalization (if applicable)
current address and, for non US citizen: copy of US visa/ green card and driver license.
* female ancestors can pass on the Italian citizenship only to offspring born after Jan. 1, 1948.
** if the ancestor never naturalized, please write that he did not

I emailed Monica and asked if i could make an appointment to come in. She asked me to pick a date from the few she offered me and I went a few weeks later, so assuming they aren't too backed up you should be okay. They only do citizenship appointments one day a week for 3 hours. Email Monica Pescatori and tell her you need to make an appointment to come in and turn in all your documents and she'll tell you what you need to do. Her email is email@example.com and she is great. Everyone at the consulate is very friendly and helpful, I am very familiar with Monica e Giulia. Buona fortuna, if you have any other questions let me know. Buona notte

Phoronix: NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Benchmarks On Linux
Here's some of the first OpenGL benchmarks of the ultra high-end $999 (USD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN running on Linux...
TF2 with all the eyecandy cranked to the max @ 2560x1440 (vsync disabled) using Kano's benchmark script.
3824 frames 14.299 seconds 267.43 fps ( 3.74 ms/f) 26.501 fps variability
Now come on Valve, bring me some L4D2 loving.
With nothing to compare against, this benchmark is useless!
No reference values.
The results will say nothing and be completely useless for comparison.
For heaven's sake, just write $1000. What's with the $999 nonsense? Seriously.

And So It's Devolved to This
Thanks for the confirmation -- very sad state of affairs: relationship building is prerequisite to arts appreciation. I suspected that such was a predominate youthful value. Not that long ago, pre-cyberspace, it was opposite, but not necessarily better.
While perhaps good advice to young artists bent toward the longshot of commercial success, thanks anyway. If I have to get you to like me, produce what's popular at the time...well, that's not art anyway. It's craft, and I don't mean to diminish the worth of imitation. It's not my thing.
My rejection of contemporary marketing approaches is essential to what I write. I'm not a kid who wants to be a star and willing to kiss a__ along the way. I don't give a crap if you like me or not. I don't want to know you, or about you. In my opinion, if any site for written word doesn't have an opportunity to present materials by unknowns, including sites maintained by capitalistic authors, the owners, admins, and mods deserve to get cancer only curable by cultural correction. Further, I believe they will. (I'm an old hippie.)
Plus, if my novel doesn't make money (it's currently rated five star by mobipocket readers), it's no skin off my head. My attitude is for you to suck it up while I'm alive, which may not be that long, and that's okay too. I've tons of accomplishment to go down with, including lots of nonfiction published, and hundreds of kids I've helped. I have no ego investment in my first fiction novel, and if I get too much of a hassle, I don't feel compelled to finish the sequel. Being banned by a ridiculous site that applies standards for the purpose of consistent reader programming is as much or more fun than posting comments on another when I really feel like I should be finishing a story or poem in the works -- lots pending. Actually, if I hurry up and get banned from everyplace possible, I'll have no excuse not to concentrate and produce.
Kat (or whomever), since you chose not to even read my essay, free online (but the print version does cost), subsequent comments to me are misdirected. Art is not equivalent to the artist's personality or other qualities. It stands or dies on its own, even contemporary readers don't check it out. We would not have real rock and roll now if the top forty had dominated at the time. Generally speaking, popular sucks.

While I'm itching to ask the question; Then why do you write? I think I'll spell out my POV first.
I am a hobbyist, a writer for the fun of it. If I didn't enjoy it, I would waste my time doing something else. Yeah, once I was young, I thought what I wrote had to be published. I had to make a name for myself. Etc. etc. but I never saw my name on anything but rejection letters, and now I've moved on. Recently I've had a short story published in an anthology. It was fun. Other people got to read it. I'm still not willing to ditch my day job. I would have difficulty if I wrote a best seller. I really like my day job.
You don't care if I like you or not. Then why do you care if I read any of your stuff? Maybe the question I want to ask is; Then why are you published?
I find you confusing.
August 19th, 2006, 07:44 AM #34
Day jobs keep writers sane... writing is just a dirty little habit that can't be kicked.

Thanks for POV
BTW, another reviewer asked for a copy of my novel yesterday. He was a Big Time, so I'm a little insecure about upcoming findings. He said that it would be his first ebook review and that he was making an exception to company policy -- stress city.

I wonder if I understand the argument at all.
The essay seems to propose that a person be allowed to do anything on the Internet that they feel like doing, including mucking up other peoples' interests with their commercials.
The posts seem to maintain that there is no interest in selling anything even though any commercials would be targeted at selling the book but, by the goddess, that's not the point of it all.
Then why is it that the writer wants to market the book in cyberspace anywhere and everywhere he pleases?
My POV is that I well and truly dislike commercials wherever they occur. I mute my TV whenever they appear; I religiously don't read any pop-ups that happen on PV screen; and most of the time I ignore the stuff Dag allows on sffworld although I did read our ad for Seven Threads a lot. I think I am savvy enough to understand that these ads pay some of the bills and that even Dag needs some help defraying costs so there are commercials floating around the edges of sffworld. Hell, most of the sffworld blogs are commercials! But, not the forum. Have significant trouble understanding why that should be an issue.

Of course not
Please check out the essay if you want to discuss my POV (this is the first time I'm ever used that -- LOL). But, if the comment wasn't directed this way, apologies. My POV, however, is that almost all statements are advertisement for something.

As I wrote, I found the essay an interminable argument that a person should be allowed to post anything they want anywhere they want - notably excluding child pronography. Interesting that you are willing to engage in censorship for topics you find unpalatable but not willing to extend that 'right' to others.
As others have said, a person can open a website and post whatever they wish. That is a perfectly valid freedom. Of course, if I were to open a website, then that URL is my domain and I get to prescribe the rules for my domain. I paid the fee for owning the domain and, it seems to me, contract law now applies. You want to come on my site, you get to obey my rules; that's the contract you sign to get in.
And, in my POV, it's a bit disingenuous to play semantics with advertising. You are absolutely correct that this post advertises my opinion in the sense it is laying it out for there for all to see but you are absolutely propagandizing as well since I am not soliciting anyone to purchase my opinion, much less agree with it.
August 19th, 2006, 12:04 PM #41
Robert, unfortunately for you, your POV will put some readers off... others won't care one way or the other.
I didn't say you had to make friends with members of a forum for them to give your book a shot, plenty of new authors are being read by members here, and they haven't posted once... I said be mindful of net-iquette.
The difference between a novel and art, is that usually the masses get to enjoy great pieces of art for nothing... you are trying to sell your art. Does every author see themself as an artist? I don't.
Relationship building is not necessary for art appreciation at all... but you have entered an online COMMUNITY... built on relationships... and expect to be able to pimp your work, disguised as conversation and then cry about not kissing a*s because you get called up on it. Make your mind up; if you want to play the game do it wholeheartedly.
You say:

You're a clever guy, clearly, and whilst you say you have no ego invested in your work, you clearly have plenty invested in your approach to marketing it; and I gotta tell you, it won't work for you. Leave discussion forums for a while, focus on getting online reviews and interviews, let word-of-mouth build up without your interaction. You can't ignore the rules just because you don't like them. That's my advice for what it's worth.

Cyberspace Infancy
We are children of a new age of communication. While mostly looking at U.S. law on free speech, the essay advocates for the voluntary adoption of reasonable standards before subsequent likely litigation imposes. Cyberspace is public property. If you are religious (I'm not), by analogy, God owns it the way she owns the planet. You don't buy cyberspace by registering a domain name, setting up a server, or paying admins or mods. And, it's not for sale.
My POV (3rd time I've ever used it), is that an author has a decision to make about putting up a site: a basic advertisement or an interactive one. If interactive, additional duties are assumed to protect public interests. The author's profits generated through communication on interactive sites are secondary interests and it doesn't matter how much she pays to maintain the site. It's an ethical and a likely upcoming legal duty assumed by creating public interaction that requires one to permit free dialogue, including the posting by someone who thinks the author's work sucks. Nobody forced the author to put up an interactive site and it can be taken down at any time, but when in existence she doesn't own cyberspace. It's also not for rent.
I recommend that you look closer at Lacy Dawn's recommendations at the end of the essay. She's pretty smart.

On the matter of pimping your work (for want of better words) I saw a chap doing it with all the charm of a snake-oil salesman at a convention. It got so bad folk were avoiding both the dealers' room and the bars if they saw him coming. But he sold books, could sell to the devil, I swear. One person admitted to me they had bought one, but would not buy the next in the series, once bitten I suppose. So which is better, to make a sale by being under a person's nose or one through good reviews/networking. I personally think the latter will get you a second sale.

I can see you're a fan of Dawn... ain't gonna change the minds of the people you are trying to convince... smart people are wrong all the time, especially about 'people'. There's always a danger with using analogies... that's all they are and Cyberspace, doesn't exist... the reality is that it is servers and domains, that cost someone money.

Child Survival Issues Today
The vast majority of Americans want to help children and their families in the developing world have a true start on a healthy and secure life. Children under 5 are the most vulnerable to early childhood diseases and conditions that contribute to more than 26,000 deaths each day, mainly due to preventable diseases and conditions.
Child Survival is a call to action to save the lives of children under 5 and promote healthy and productive families and communities. We already have the means and technology to save millions of children's lives each year. The threats and solutions are well known to public health professionals, but we need to inform and educate a wider audience so that action can be taken.
Global Child Survival and Health Facts
Today, more than 26,000 children under age five will die from preventable or treatable causes, such as pneumonia or diarrhea. This loss of almost 9.7 million children each year – equivalent to every child living in the eastern half of the United States – is a global tragedy with humanitarian, economic, and political consequences. And nearly four million of these children die within the first month of life. A majority of these child deaths are from preventable or treatable causes: pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and measles. Malnutrition, which weakens children's ability to ward off illness, contributes to more than one-third of all child deaths.
A large gap exists between the health of children in developing and developed countries; on the average the risk of death for children before reaching the age of five is nearly fourteen times greater in the developing world. Most of these deaths take place in the first year of life. Threats to health are exacerbated by the growing number of orphaned infants and children, generally due to the poor health conditions experienced by their parents-notably HIV/AIDS and mother's deaths in pregnancy and childbirth.
While child mortality rates have declined by about 1 percent every year for the past 20 years, millions of children (particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South and Southeast Asia) still die every year because they lack access to vaccines and other basic care. Current programs are substantially improving child survival and health, but much more can and should be done. For example, vitamin A supplementation saves over a quarter of a million lives each year. Oral rehydration therapy prevents an estimated one million deaths. And immunization programs save the lives of almost four million children.
While we know what works, increased funding is needed. International health experts estimate that a minimum additional investment of $5.1 billion each year is necessary to save the lives of six million children in those countries with the highest rates of child mortality.
Six Million Children Every Year Can Be Saved
In 2000, the US pledged to work with 188 other members of the United Nations to achieve a two-thirds reduction in the number of child deaths by the year 2015. This goal can be achieved with enhanced global commitment to the following basic, cost-effective child health actions:
1. Expand Routine Immunization
Immunization has saved over 20 million lives in the last two decades. Immunization rates for the six major vaccine-preventable diseases – pertussis (also known as whooping cough, tuberculosis, tetanus, polio, measles, and diphtheria – have risen from under 10 percent in the 1970s to nearly 80 percent today. More recently, however, coverage has leveled off. Worldwide, about 30 million children are still not reached each year with routine immunization. Rates in some African countries have dropped to less than 30 percent.
2. Promote Proper Child Feeding and Deliver Essential Micronutrients:
Although malnutrition has decreased 17% in the past decade, the rate of decline has been alarmingly slow in recent years, leaving 20 percent of children in the poorest countries to suffer serious developmental conditions. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant's life, followed by the provision of nutritious, clean, mashed or semi-solid foods and breastfeeding thereafter, can reduce malnutrition, improve growth, and save lives.
Access to micronutrients is also critical for children to survival, develop, and grow. Deficiencies in vitamin A, zinc, iodine and iron, for example, can lead to blindness, severe infection, poor growth, mental retardation, and an increased risk of death. Given directly as supplements or through fortified food, micronutrients are an inexpensive and effective way to prevent these deficiencies.
3. Prevent, Diagnose and Treat Acute Respiratory Infections, Diarrhea, and Malaria:
Acute respiratory infections, usually in the form of pneumonia, contribute to more than two million deaths of children under 5 every year. Many of these deaths could be prevented through a five-day course of antibiotics, which costs as little as 30 cents. Since 1990, childhood deaths from diarrhea have declined by 50 percent. Nevertheless, two million children still die every year from diarrhea.
Key measures to reduce cases of diarrhea are to ensure access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation, good personal and food hygiene, and health education about how infections spread. Additional lives can be saved by giving children with diarrhea oral rehydration salts (ORS) – a simple solution of sugar, salt, and clean water that costs less than 50 cents to treat a single child. Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds – about 800,000 children under 5 every year. The disease accounts for 1 in 5 of all childhood deaths in Africa. By increasing the number of children who sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets, and giving children effective drugs for treating malaria, more than a million lives could be saved.
4. Ensure Safe Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Newborn Care:
One woman dies each minute from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Four million newborns die in their first month of life, mostly from infections (neonatal tetanus, sepsis, diarrhea, and pneumonia), birth asphyxia, premature birth, and unsafe delivery practices. Proper care before, during, and after delivery could prevent most of these maternal and newborn deaths. Child survival could also be improved by providing access to skilled birth attendants; giving basic information on the importance of birth spacing and breastfeeding; warming and drying the newborn; and preventing and treating infections.

Curiously the old UMS drivers never hung my 830 gpu. Make of that what you will.
Phoronix: Intel X.Org Update Restores 830GM/845G Acceleration
Chris Wilson of Intel OTC put out another point release to the xf86-video-intel 2.20.x DDX driver on Saturday...
Curiously the old UMS drivers never hung my 830 gpu. Make of that what you will.
Did the old UMS driver have EXA? If not, it didn't hang because it wasn't accelerating anything anyway.
I don't remember whether that was before, after, or during the great EXA transition. But it was certainly before XAA offscreen pixmap accel was disabled, so even if it was XAA, it accelerated copies.
It certainly did XV and 3d, though the 3d was barely good enough for simple screensavers. I remember trying OA on it for giggles, and at 640x480 low it wasn't playable.
AMD drops support for old graphics cards.
Intel adds support for old graphics.
Wow, surely seems like quality hardware.The GMCH on this pair of chipsets is notoriously incoherent, so the GPU is almost certainly going to hang at some point, --
(This would have been 7ish years ago)
I recycled all of my 845 systems. I bought an Nvidia card for the only customer I had that used one. It wasn't worth fighting with.

Assembled by Escoda's team of artisans at its factory near Barcelona, Spain, the newest addition to the Escoda family is its Grafilo line of long handled brushes. All feature pure male Tajmyr Sable Kolinsky, the finest hair in the world of natural brushes.
Known for its springiness, this shiny, light brown hair from northwestern Siberia stipples perfectly and has an incredible capacity for retaining liquid. It is ideal for both oil and watercolor. Each brush features an elegant engraved grip for superior handling and maximum flexibility.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.
® Escoda is a registered trademark.
Kolinsky Sable Brush Shortage
Due to regulatory issues regarding the importation of Kolinsky hair, we are temporarily out of stock on many of our more popular brush styles. Be assured that we are working with our vendors and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remedy this situation as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience.

Seems like a waste of time to me if it's only an XvMC driver.
XvMC is really useless today, the only time you would need mpeg2 acceleration is if you are on a 486DX.
I believe a UVD2 implementation is what Linux needs. Not another XvMC driver.
Phoronix: An Update On Generic GPU Video Decoding
One of Google's Summer of Code projects this year is to bring hardware-based video acceleration to Linux with Gallium3D. The advantage of this design is that the implementation is designed to be universal to any driver using Gallium3D, which for now is largely just the Nouveau driver and an experimental Intel version.With many of the open-source drivers currently lacking any form of GPU-based video decoding acceleration (such as XvMC or the forthcoming VA-API), this will be a terrific feature as it will provide this functionality once the drivers make the switch to Tungsten's Gallium3D as this method doesn't require any hardware/driver-specific work...
Seems like a waste of time to me if it's only an XvMC driver.
XvMC is really useless today, the only time you would need mpeg2 acceleration is if you are on a 486DX.
I believe a UVD2 implementation is what Linux needs. Not another XvMC driver.
Does anyone know if the ati/radeonhd developers are planning to make use of Gallium3D?
I think it would be better to first provide such features to the drivers of manufacturers that work with the free software community through development efforts or providing hardware specs.
People are of course free to code whatever they want, but I think it's a shame, all the skilled developer effort poured into reverse engineering Nouveau, that could have gone towards making the Intel or AMD driver implementation better.
This shit always sounds cool, but from an end user point of view, it always takes like YEARS to fully enjoy something on linux (especailly related to gpus) and when this support kicks in, there will be 5 other cool ideas about whatever new 3d api. or am I wrong?
This approach could lead to much more flexible decoding of different formats and profiles. XvMC is a good starting point to figure out how to do this kind of processing with hardware in X/Gallium3d environment.
I'm hoping that Radeon drivers catch up soon. I have an NVidia 9600GT, which will probably take a long time to get free 3d support and the binary drivers are useless for this (and generally pretty bad quality.. can't wait to switch to ATI and free drivers).
Whatever it is, don't hold your breath.
How long has GNASH been going on for? a few decades now, and they can't even implement Flash 7 properly.
Good luck.
