Does other OS software like GIMP and co support JPEG 2000 too? Who needs JPEG 2000?
Phoronix: Ubuntu's Firefox May Gain JPEG 2000 Support
JPEG 2000, the image file format that has been around for nearly a decade and offers better compression performance and greater flexibility in the code-stream that can allow for higher quality photographs compared to a traditional JPEG, may get a boost on the Linux desktop. JPEG 2000 hasn't seen much adoption in large part because of the lack of web browsers that natively support this JP2 ISO standard, including Firefox...
Does other OS software like GIMP and co support JPEG 2000 too? Who needs JPEG 2000?
All major open source image viewers/editors support JPEG 2000. For GIMP there exists a plugin (which will be included by default in GIMP 2.8).
I hope that Ubuntu will also consider adding MNG support to Firefox, which was removed by Mozilla in favour of their ill-fated APNG standard.
It's worth noting that Konqueror started supporting JPEG2000 in 2006 or even earlier.
I can honestly say that this isn't exactly news that gets my heart running a little faster, it simply isn't important enough to me.
And if it is patent-encumbered (why else would Mozilla be sued if they implemented support for it in FF?), I'm only leaning more towards saying "thanks, but no thanks", especially since it isn't THAT greatly used.
AFAIK, Konqueror supports everything KDE itself does - which includes JPEG2k and MNG.
Last time I tried the GIMP plugin for MNG it was half-finished and pretty crap. The part I'm more interested in is JNG (JPEG compression + alpha transparency).
This APNG format is complete and utter garbage. I haven't seen a single app that actually supports reading it besides Firefox, never mind creating them. That makes it about as "Portable" as VML.
It only exists at all because one particular Mozilla developer is an awful troll, and his plan to kill off MNG in Mozilla - by setting impossibly tight library size requirements - backfired spectacularly; the MNG devs almost managed it before the rug was pulled out from under them. Go check out bug 18574 on bugzilla for the complete circus. It's a glimpse into the infantile politics that go on in Mozilla's inner circles.
Last edited by Ant P.; 08-25-2009 at 03:03 PM.
The story of the MNG limbo in Mozilla is indeed a very sad one. It is notable that converting the animated GIFs which Firefox ships (for throbbers etc.) to MNG would actually reduce its size even if you count the additional code for MNG support.
Regarding JPEG 2000, it has some advantages over JPEG, eg. alpha transparency. The Wikipeda article has all details.
JPEG 2000 also supports transparency. And, unlike JNG, it is actually commonly used (and is much more efficient to boot).
There are already plenty of applications that can read and write such files, including a site that makes construction of such files quite easy. All the modern browsers support the format (and none of them support MNG). There is already a patch to add support to GTK+. I have seen the format pop up more and more lately, though, of course, only on sites with few IE users (such as userstyles.org). There is a clear need for something like APNG, which fulfils several needs that GIF fails to meet. Since APNG, unlike MNG, is actually supported, I expect APNG slowly to overtake GIF in the coming years. So, both your premiss that only Firefox supports the format and your conclusion that APNG isnt portable are demonstrably false. I understand that you wish MNG were supported, but please dont spread uninformed falsehoods.
Great! Now all they need is a patch to make it honor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, a patch to make it work with gnome-globalmenu, and a patch to make it work with gnome keyring and somebody might mistake it for a native Ubuntu application
I'm probably going to regret this, but...
Even if Firefox is the only browser that supports APNG (there's an add-on for making them too, by the way), it's still more than the userbase of MNG-supporting browsers, and people have tried to add APNG support to GIMP, but the developers are staunchly against it in favor of MNG (although they don't support MNG on all platforms, either).
What's the advantage of MNG from a practical standpoint, anyway? (and I really, really just mean this as an honest technical question. I've read up on the two formats in the past but could never really make heads or tails of the situation) The whole rationale behind APNG was that the first frame can still be decoded by programs that don't support it as long as they can decode PNGs.

GTA: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto V}}
The Brute Camper is a camper van featured in Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961,Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA San Andreas
The Camper is evidently designed as a large 1960s van based on the Volkswagen Type 2 T1 in all its appearances in the series. Whereas the GTA London rendition is depicted with a design proportionate to the Volkswagen Type 2's, the GTA San Andreas rendition is features a narrower body and lower ground clearance. The GTA London rendition also comes with only one color scheme (orange with a white top), whereas the GTA San Andreas rendition is almost identical to the real-life Volkswagen in front but is longer and with a more modern look in the back half and the wheels; it may be found in a variety of two-tone or three-tone color schemes. The San Andreas' Camper has no front license plate, only the rear one is present, and is a mirror-view (reverse) from the frontal one, even when the front license is not present.
The GTA London rendition comes with a front-mounted spare tire while the GTA San Andreas rendition sports more variety in the kinds of accessories featured. For GTA San Andreas, a variant of the Camper a with pop-top, a peace symbol on the front (where the Volkswagen logo on the actual van would be) and a bed inside is available. Open curtains may also been seen on non-pop-top Campers, while pop-top Campers feature closed curtains.
Like most vans in GTA San Andreas, it cannot be modified at any car shop. It can only be resprayed, and if a Camper has the peace sign in front, it will stay after respray.
The Brute Camper is a Class C motorhome based on the Declasse Burrito. It is a very similar to the Journey in GTA San Andreas, which returns as a Class A motorhome in GTA V.
GTA San Andreas
In comparison to its predecessor, the Love Wagon, the Camper's performance in GTA London is slightly more acceptable with a moderately good top speed, slightly below average acceleration and handling, average weight. While valued as £400 in mint condition, the van cannot be exported as it is "too big".
Like the Volkswagen Type 2, the Camper in GTA San Andreas runs on a small flat-4 cylinder engine. Acceleration and speed are among the worst in the game, as are handling and braking, which are also inferior with poor hill climbing capabilities but match the vehicle well due to the weak engine and bulky chassis. Also, despite its size and resemblance to a Volkswagen van, the Camper is capable of carrying only 3 people, including the driver; where one passenger sits in the bed while the other sits on the seat. It is probably the only vehicle that can only carry two other people.
The Camper in GTA V is on the same platform as the Ambulance and is powered by the same 4.5L turbo diesel V8. However, unlike the other Burrito-based Brute vehicles, the Camper platform is front-wheel drive.
The Mothership
The Mothership is a variant of the Camper in GTA San Andreas owned by the marijuana-growing hippie The Truth. The only difference between the Mothership and the Camper vans is the unique psychedelic hippie paintjob. When it is first introduced in the mission "Are You Going to San Fierro?", The Truth mentions that the engine block is held together with a macramé hammock and that it runs on 15-year-old cooking oil. The Mothership's numberplate reads "EREHTTUO" which is simply the phrase out there written backwards (a clear double pun from the saying "The Truth is Out There"), but as mentioned above this "backwards" license effect is present in every Camper.
The Mothership appears only during the missions "Are You Going to San Fierro?", "Black Project", and "Riot", otherwise it is not found anywhere else in the game. In addition, the van does not have its own index number and internal name, making the Mothership difficult to obtain using conventional trainers. Garages are also notorious for not saving paintjobs so there is a chance of losing the paintjob if saved in a garage. To ensure the Mothership retains its paintjob, the player must save the van in a garage which adjoining safehouse will not be used to save games; the player will have to use another safehouse instead.
It possible to steal a BP/EP/DP/FP proof Mothership during the mission Black Project, see here.
Khaki brown Camper
A unique GTA San Andreas Camper with khaki brown paintwork is obtainable during mission "Jizzy". The van is made available when the player is required to rush to the bottom of a highway intersection near Foster Valley to rescue one of Jizzy B's prostitutes from two abusive clients. The van, parked close to all three individuals, can easily be taken and stored in a garage, to which point the player may either choose to complete the mission or fail it.
Unlike the Mothership, the khaki brown Camper will retain its body color as it doesn't utilize texture-based paintjobs. The combination of colors on the van may vary between each attempt in the mission, including a red-brown-black design or a brown-white design, but generally adopts brown in all its combination.
Of interesting note is that the van's lights will remain on during the mission as long as the player doesn't store it in the garage, regardless of time and weather.
- Sometimes, the Camper will have a paintjob similar to the German flag, but inverted (red, yellow and black from top to bottom). This is a reference to Germany where the Volkswagen Type 2 was made.
- The Camper in GTA San Andreas plays the radio station K-JAH Radio West by default when entered.
- All Campers in San Andreas have a mirror flipped number plate. This is because Rockstar North (based in Scotland) made this vehicle. In the original version, the Camper had a right hand steering and right middle door, like all vehicles in Scotland would have.
- The Camper is the only three-passenger vehicle in the game, and one of four vehicles with three instead of two body colors (the others being the Cement Truck, Squalo, and Rustler).
- In the GTA San Andreas beta, there was to be a light blue/yellow/black paintjob for the Camper.
- "Camper" was the real nickname given for the VW Type 2 in the UK.
- Since the Type 2 was manufactured by Volkswagen, it might also follow that the Camper would be manufactured by Vulcar.
- The rear door of the Camper in GTA San Andreas appears to be a sliding door, but in fact, swings open normally.
- The GTA V version of the Camper looks very similar to the GTA San Andreas Journey, another RV that is also present in GTA V.
GTA London
- In GTA London, the Camper is commonplace in street traffic, and hence is more easily available for the player to commandeer.
GTA San Andreas
- In GTA San Andreas, however, it is rarely encountered on streets, although it has some spawning points across San Andreas, such as the summit of Mount Chiliad or it sometimes is parked in the Gant Bridge visiting center. It can also be seen occasionally around in Hashbury, San Fierro, due to the district's "hippie" lifestyle, as well as Ganton, Los Santos.
- The Camper may also be imported at the Imports/Exports crane at Easter Basin, San Fierro.
- It can be found at an alleyway north of the safehouse in Hashbury for export.
- It's sometimes seen in Red County and Flint County.

Large flat-topped mounds were erected on which the houses and temples of civil and religious elite stood. Today, the mounds still exist and a constructed overlook platform and interpretive panels tell the story of the significant contribution and historical value of this Native.

Carson Pirie Scott & Company
Carson Pirie Scott & Company's former flagship store, designed by Louis H. Sullivan (1856-1924) was also built in stages, beginning in 1899, 1903, augmented by an addition by D. H. Burnham & Co. in 1906, and ending with a 1961 addition by Holabird and Root. Although Carson's wide windows and narrow piers are expressive of the internal steel frame, the building is more famous for its exquisite ornament by Sullivan. The embellished storefronts, newly restored decorative cornice, and ornate columns capitals on the interior all bear Sullivan's personal style of ornament. It was both named a Chicago Landmark and listed in the National Register in 1970. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

Although most of our graduate classes are offered as distance learning courses, all of our graduate degree programs have low- residency requirements as well. Residential requirements are academic requirements, and their completion is important for your successful academic progress as well as for transformational learning.
Residential requirements vary by program to accommodate the learning outcomes associated with specific degrees. Where, how often, and when residential experiences occur also varies by program. Request more information today to find out about the specific residential requirements for your degree at Saybrook.
All new students at Saybrook (except those in Seattle masters programs) are required to attend a Residential Orientation held immediately before their first Residential Conference (RC). The RO familiarizes students with Saybrook University's education requirements, faculty, and staff, distance learning modalities, and courses for the initial term.
Residential Conference Locations
Additional residential conferences for our hybrid-online programs are held at the start of each semester, both for in-person learning and to introduce courses for the first term of that semester. For most online degree programs, these conferences are held at locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more about locations, see the calendar for your individual program.
A few programs have particular needs:
- The Jungian Studies program within the School of Psychology and Interdisciplinary Inquiry holds its in-person seminars at the Jung Center in Houston.
- The School of Mind-Body Medicine requires three in-person seminars (MBM 5600, 5605, and 5610) or elective ones at training sessions offered by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) and held in locations where CMBM has scheduled their trainings.
- Students in the PhD Psychology, Psychophysiology Specialization program attend one of the two required residential conferences in San Francisco (August) and the other at the annual meetings of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), held in March but for which exact dates and location vary from year to year.
- All classes for our two completely residential degree programs (Masters degree in Counseling or Organizational Systems) are held at Saybrook's Seattle campus. .

The Steam fail start after install and update with error message "Failed to load steamui.so..."
And Steam it's 32 bit application only?
Phoronix: Steam Linux Beta Opens Up To More Gamers
Prior to going on their Thanksgiving holiday, Valve's Linux cabal opened up the Steam Linux Beta program to an additional five-thousand applicants...
The Steam fail start after install and update with error message "Failed to load steamui.so..."
And Steam it's 32 bit application only?
And I am not amongst those applicants! Doesn't matter, though. As long as more knowledgeable folks make it a better product, then I will continue to wait patiently.
To me, that's exactly the problem - I'm sure at LEAST 1/4 of the applicants mainly just use Windows and another 1/4 just applied to it because they can but probably don't use it a whole lot.
What bothers me is if you're not apart of the beta testers, you can still download Steam but it'll refuse to continue. I think it should still work whether you are signed up or not, but rather your opinion just doesn't matter to Valve.
Strange, am not part of the beta but been using steam since day 1
Been playing TF2 for the last 2 days +
World of goo, Amnesia and what not have worked since day 1 also
You need nvidia 32 bit drivers. Also it would not hurt when you install libpci3 32 bit for SS3.
I'll just wait until the open beta. Luckily for me, the only games I ever played on Steam were Orange Box titles, so I won't be missing much so far as my prior game library goes. Might get me back into desktop gaming a bit. Ever since I started using Linux I've become much more of a console gamer. Not really big on most first-person shooters, since they honestly seem highly uncreative to me, at least these days. Portal was one of the only recent FPS titles I enjoyed.
Serious Sam 3: BFE is on sale today (-75%)
No problem, if Valve doesn't want me and my considerable debugging skills, they can eat shit and die. Nice to know they're picking Windows users and random bots for the beta instead of serious programmers who can find issues without the source code and maybe even fix them.
