most pointless mentioning/advertising of a format in a film i've ever seen
In the recent muppets christmas film, god (played by whoopi goldberg- or howevr u spell her name), mentioned converting her entire album collection (every album ever recorded. ever) to mp3 files. Now that is the most pointless use of advertising the inferior mp3 format i've ever seen. Now that we've started covering the use of vorbis in games, anyone spotted any reference (no matter how

test:plugins task dependency on :environment is pointless, surely?
Hello all, I''ve been doing quite a bit of rooting around the plugin system recently, and one thing in particularly has me puzzled and bemused. At the moment, the test:plugins task has a dependency on the :environment task, thus loading up Rails in all it''s resplendent glory. Once it''s done this it uses Rake::TestTask to load the tests for every plugin. However, because

[PATCH v2 13/14] drm: stm: remove dead code and pointless local lut storage
The redundant fb helper .load_lut is no longer used, and can not work right without also providing the fb helpers .gamma_set and .gamma_get thus rendering the code in this driver suspect. Just remove the dead code. Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda at axentia.se> --- drivers/gpu/drm/stm/ltdc.c | 12 ------------ drivers/gpu/drm/stm/ltdc.h | 1 - 2 files changed, 13 deletions(-) diff

One final minor trivial insignificant pointless patch
[this address is IPv6-only, and usually doesn't work, so don't.] There's another patch I have up my sleeve, that it would be nice if I didn't need to apply it by hand.

[PATCH 06/11] drm: i915: remove dead code and pointless local lut storage
The driver stores lut values from the fbdev interface, and is able to give them back, but does not appear to do anything with these lut values. The generic fb helpers have replaced this function, and may even have made the driver work for the C8 mode from the fbdev interface. But that is untested. Since the fb helper .gamma_set and .gamma_get are no longer used, just kill the mysterious dead

do_fileinfo / file.info test for file IS directory during package load pointlessly stresses NIS by getting username / group info
*Summary: * During package loading the library function calls file.info to determine if a file is a directory. This uselessly invokes getpwuid and getgrgid which can be expensive if the user/group database are held on a network. Note that file_test ALSO uses file.info for the same purpose Suggest rebuilding file_test to use ‘stat’ based call for directory search, and using file_test in

[PATCH] xen/Rules.mk: Do not dance about pointlessly with CFLAGS_tmp
It is usually better to use `='' in Makefiles than `:=''. The expansion rules for `:='' are simpler - so simple in fact that they don''t work if any part of the expansion depends on the source or target filenames. In this patch we remove the shuffling of the value of CFLAGS between := and = flavour variables. This was previously `necessary'' because

[Patch] the interface of invalidating qemu mapcache
HVM balloon driver or something, that''s under development, may decrease or increase the machine memory that is taken by HVM guest; in IA32/IA32e host, now Qemu maps the physical memory of HVM guest based on little blocks of memory (the block size is 64K in IA32 host or 1M in IA32E host). When HVM balloon driver decreases the reserved machine memory of HVM guest, Qemu should unmap the

Storing the documents text: data record or value ?
Hi, Following the Recoll snippets generation performance problem caused by the new positions list storage scheme in Xapian 1.4, I am experimenting with generating snippets from the complete document text stored in the index. This increases the index size much less than I would have expected (around 10-15% apparently with my home directory data), which is good news obviously. I have tried

Upgrading to CentOS 7
I read in <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool> "Warning: use of this tool is currently not recommended as several system- critical packages are of a higher version number in CentOS 6.6 than they are in CentOS 7 so those do not get upgraded correctly. This renders yum and several other system tools non-functional." Does this still hold? It seems to me a bit

[PATCH 03/11] drm: ast: remove dead code and pointless local lut storage

[PATCH v4 00/14] improve the fb_setcmap helper
Hi! While trying to get CLUT support for the atmel_hlcdc driver, and specifically for the emulated fbdev interface, I received some push-back that my feeble in-driver attempts should be solved by the core. This is my attempt to do it right. I have obviously not tested all of this with more than a compile, but patches 1 and 3 are enough to make the atmel-hlcdc driver do what I need. The rest is
