Pirates of the Burning Sea Patch a Step in the Right Direction?

The director of development for the disappointing "Pirates of the Burning Sea" recently sat down to share a few of the tidbits in the upcoming patch that is promising a host of improvements. "There were a number of changes in 1.4, but the buccaneer was definitely the big one, because with a new class you have to do new missions, career appearance items, and that sort of thing. That's all taken a lot of effort from a lot of the team. In addition to that, we have set up a lot of trial account restrictions so we can better control the abuse of trial and buddy accounts by gold spammers. We have implemented a number of things, on the back end, to help with customer support. That's an ongoing theme, because as we see more support requests, we provide more tools to make the GMs lives easier.

Unbundling The Newspaper Could Be A Good Thing

A lot of the discussion at the Future of News conference has focused on the supposedly dire consequences of the newspaper's decline. Newspaper readership is falling, and advertising revenues are dropping even faster. A lot of people here (especially folks who work at newspapers) seem to think that newspapers fill a unique niche that will go unfilled if increased competition from the Internet causes newspapers to go out of business. One of the people on the second panel, Eric Alterman, wrote an article for the New Yorker recently making the same argument. He thinks that bloggers have a "parasitic relationship" with the mainstream media, perhaps exemplified by me linking to a New Yorker article as the jumping off point for this post!

PulseAudio Tames the Linux Audio Zoo, Part 1

There are a lot of great sound-related applications for Linux, from basic audio drivers and sound servers to sophisticated mixers, editors, and special effects engines. Which is not much consolation for the user who just wants sound to work on her system, and these days everything old is new again--once again, getting sound to work correctly, or at all, is almost as fun as in the olden days. Only these days it's because of "progress," not because of immaturity. This is due to PulseAudio becoming the default sound server on an increasing number of Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu Hardy, Fedora 8 and up, and Mandriva 2008.1. A number of other distributions include it as an option, such as openSUSE, Debian, Arch Linux, and Gentoo. It promises superior audio functionality, but brings with it a few woes as well, and has a lot of users askin

Digitizing Old Magazines?

"I have a lot of old video game magazines, they're nice for playing 'classic games' because a lot of classics are impossible without the manual, and hard without a magazine (the magazine obviously negates the need for a manual usually). But they'd get damaged with a flatbed scanner, and digital cameras are hard to set up right for capturing old magazines. I know that old documents are digitally archived with very high-res cameras..." So, the question is, what is the best way to capture all the information in old magazines in digital format? Does anyone have a home-built rig taking after the angled-pair-of-scanners setup that Project Gutenburg uses?

ICANN Approves Dot-KitchenSink Internet Address Policy

The Internet is about to get a lot crazier. Anyone who's willing to fork over a fairly grand sum, possibly in the $100,00 ball park, will be able to buy the rights to a branded domain. That means no one who's anyone will be a lowly dot-com anymore -- and the practice of snatching up domain names with the hope of selling them for big bucks later will be a lot less lucrative.

Photo Editing For Real People With Fotox

I first read about Fotox in an article by Dmitri Popov, who writes a lot of articles that I enjoy reading. I gave it a test drive, and it's no Adobe Photoshop. Which for me is a plus--for editing digital photographs, Photoshop is overpriced, lardy overkill, and there is no Linux version anyway. Fotox comes with a small but useful feature set, including red-eye repair, sharpen, bend, stretch, noise reduction, cropping, and resize. It only supports the JPEG format. It fills a neglected niche in Linux photo editing, and that is an easy-to-use photo editor that includes the most commonly-used functions. It also comes with two useful features that a lot of bigger image editors don't have: panorama and HDR.
