Phonon and the Future of KDE Multimedia
Linux.com is running a very informative article on Phonon, the new multimedia layer for KDE 4. It explains the rise and fall of Phonon's predecessor aRts and elaborates on the ups and downs of an audio abstraction layer. The article also gives an overview of common use cases and provides some example code. The Phonon website itself provides more code examples and documentation for using the Phonon API and for writing a backend. In addition to the existing NMM backend by Bernhard Fuchshumer, Tim Beaulen is working on a Xine backend for Phonon.
Meanwhile, quite a debate is raging in blogospace:
First, Christian Schaller (a GStreamer dev) explains why he thinks Phonon is a dead end: http://blogs.gnome.org/view/uraeus/2006/05/11/0
Many replies are on that weblog itself, but since blogs are the new usenet as they say, there are also separate weblogs replying:
Aaron Siego (no introduction needed, right?), for instance: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2006/05/id-like-another-black-eye-please.html, who comments on how KDE is not planning to make the mistake it made with Arts again. And on http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/91-Backends,-Phonon,-GStreamer.html, Ian Monroe, an Amarok developer, comments on the real world issues with supporting multiple MM frameworks as encountered in Amarok. On http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2007, last but not least, Scott Wheeler comments on some of the reasoning (back in 2004!) that has ultimately lead to the creation of Phonon, and how the points raised then are still valid today.

Re: Debate
Christian Schaller arguments against Phonon are not valid.
Answer is simple:
What if your special audio application uses backend XYZ? Simply choose XYZ as backend for Phonon and your "normal" desktop apps will continue working while having your audio-app open.
For me, Phonon is really the way to go!
By thomas at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Debate
No, that won't work. Phonon is a simplified wrapper for various backends. As such, it will provide the lowest (or at least, a relatively low) common denominator of features. It simply won't support everything you can do with a particular backend, even if you're using the best one.
For me, supporting many backends is a mistake. It makes it easy for people distros, but end users don't care; they want the best stuff, and their distro should take care of providing it reliably. KDE should choose best-of-breed technology, and adopt it wholeheartedly, rather than hedging its bets and being average.
By Lee at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: Debate
> KDE should choose best-of-breed technology, and adopt it wholeheartedly,
That's what they're doing. They decided to not rely on the broken GStreamer framework - which by the way is developed since 1999 (7 years) and still offer nothing that end users can use reliable enough.
I've been struggling with GStreamer since it became part of GNOME. It initially sounded like a good idea (and still is) but the implementation inside GNOME (3rd party components) is hackish and incomplete (from a developers point of view) and the easy of use is not given since I encounter crashes since the whole mess became part of GNOME. GNOME is known for hallfassed implementations and incomplete features. Why adopt mistakes from one desktop over to another one ?
By avatar at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: Debate
The idea is sound. At the moment, lots of different multimedia projects exist, reproducing the same efforts to make codecs etc. This is an insane repeatition of previous mistakes, where proven approaches have already existed for decades. GStreamer is the closest we have to that approach, and if we all get behind it, then free desktop multimedia will focus and improve rapidly.
I don't like the idea of coding multimedia to a GNOME-like C api either, but sooner or later we'll all have to grow up and work together. Frankly, it's been too long in coming already.
By Lee at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Debate
GStreamer being the closest is an opinion. And by using the Phonon approach KDE developers can still contribute to GStreamer without having to make a fork when they break their ABI compatibility.

We had the same problem with printing and the problem was solved.
further software patents are a real risk and dependencies on one single engine could create real trouble due to legal risks.
One issue e.g. what concerned me in Suse 10 was: When I play an mp3 with Amarok and then play an mp4 audio (default format in iTunes I guess), it opens in Kaffeine, so I listen to two audio files at the same time. This should not happen.
By Hup at Thu, 2006/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
It would be nice if applications like these could (optionally!) play nice with each other. In case of music or videoplayers this could mean requesting other players to fade out to a pause if the user starts playback of a song or movie, but in case of an incomming VoIP call the volume could just be turned down a bit, for instance. Would be cool...
Still, it should be possible to just play two or more songs at the same time. If somebody want to do that, why not?
By Andre Somers at Thu, 2006/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
"but in case of an incomming VoIP call the volume could just be turned down a bit, for instance."
Thats actually going to be a planned feature of Phonon. Applications can categorize themselves into categories, like Communication, Notifications, sound... player... thingies (I don't remember what they are official, but stuff like that).
By Corbin at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
I thought that was for things like routing sounds to a specific piece of hardware? Ah well, maybe it can and will be used more broadly for features like these. Stuff like fading out an allready playing song when starting playback on a new one could then be just policy for that category, as a service provided by Phonon... Hmmm... Sounds pretty cool to me! Go Phonon! :-)
By Andre Somers at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
This was discussed in kde-artists before it went down. But I hadn't heard it was actually being planned. Can you confirm that or point me to the docs that say it? I was the one who proposed it, so this might be a bit biased, but if they're planning to do that through Phonon, then that's a unique feature that would justify a new layer, I guess.
By Lee at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
"These categories can also become usefull for an application that controls the volumes automatically, like turning down the music when a call comes in, or turning down the notifications when the media player knows it's playing classical music."
By Corbin at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
You can't escape software patents damages. When they will decide to sue you if you decode mp3, no backend will save you (the same for jpeg and incredible number of audio/video/file format).

Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
Xine has a license advantage to GStreamer: Xine is licensed under GPL and enjoys the full copyleft protection of the GPL.
The Free Software Foundation warned against the use of the LGPL, but GStreamer developers didn't listen -- they instead choose to sell out their users to the entertainment cartel.
Xine will always be able to remove the DRM from any crippled multimedia plugin, since the GPL ensures that all plugins must be Open Source.
I encourage all Freedom-conscious developers to stop working on GStreamer, NMM, Helix or any other backend that allows the Media Mafia to ram DRM down consumers throats. Work for Freedom, help out Xine!
Go Xine, Go GPL, Resist draconian DRM!
By ac at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
In case you didn't notice, Helix is available under the GPL. I don't know about NMM.
By Shriramana Sharma at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
Helix is LGPL, and thus can include proprietary, non-free, closed source, DRM components that cripple your fair use rights. DRM in Helix is not just theory -- it's reality:
Just a couple of days ago, Real's executives made a push for DRM in the Linux kernel, saying that otherwise Linux will die:
By ac at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
Yep, helix sucks. From day one on Linux, they've done nothing that cooperates with Linux multimedia efforts (such as GStreamer), except where it makes their own product more famous, since their windows market is dying quickly.
By Lee at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL X
"The Free Software Foundation warned against the use of the LGPL, but GStreamer developers didn't listen -- they instead choose to sell out their users to the entertainment cartel."
I agree actually. You can't reconcile the two. Does free software exist to allow usage without pointless and artificial restrictions, or does it exist to enforce those restrictions by allowing people to put them in? Xine is also a quality back-end.

By Hotbelgo at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
No. DRM is a slippery slope, which will change everything if you give an inch. DRM *IS* bad; it enforces "rights" that content producers aren't legally entitled to, and thereby illegally infringes on users' freedom. Under no circumstances should anyone give into that just because it makes it easier to watch another holywood moneyspinner with no real depth. There are already real alternatives, like podcasting and vodcasting, which will give you more to watch and listen to than ever before, without giving up your rights.

Re: Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
Look, when you use a stick to lever a rock, you either move the rock, or break the stick. DRM is too heavy a rock to be moved by Linux stick, so please, don't break what market share Linux has by stripping ability to play DRM media from Linux.
By ac at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Keep Linux mutimedia DRM-free by helping GPL Xine!
There is a simple reason why to not integrate DRM into linux-kernel: Linux is Open Soucre and under the GPL.
A license text does not stand above the the applicable law, and in some nations (e.g. Germany) it is a law that you are not allowed to write software or alter software in a way that makes it able to bypass a DRM system.
If we integrate a DRM system into OSS than we defacto destroy its OSS status.
So even without the GPLv3 DRM-terms DRM and OSS are implicitly incompatible.

Re: MP3
Unfortunately, MP3 is NOT a software patent. It is a patent for a compression algorithm. As I see it, the problem is not that the patent exists but that their licensing method doesn't work for OSS. That is, I have no objection to paying Thomson my $2.50 for a license for the Fraunhofer patents. The problem is that they don't do business that way.
By James Richard Tyrer at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: MP3
"Unfortunately, MP3 is NOT a software patent. It is a patent for a compression algorithm."
True, and that's a huge miscpnception people have. Because it is a patent for a compression and audio algorithm, what on Earth can you apply it to? Can you apply it to a format that perhaps uses the same principles? The water just keeps on getting muddier.
"That is, I have no objection to paying Thomson my $2.50 for a license for the Fraunhofer patents. The problem is that they don't do business that way."
True, and it's a trap open source projects have fallen into to the total detriment of everyone.

Re: Printing
One issue e.g. what concerned me in Suse 10 was: When I play an mp3 with Amarok and then play an mp4 audio (default format in iTunes I guess), it opens in Kaffeine, so I listen to two audio files at the same time.
This should not happen.
It's easy: you stop the playing in Amarok, then you play your other file in Kaffeine. Since you're already listening to the first one, you'd have to be quite dumb not to realise that there's something being played.
Plus, what prevents you from changing the order of programs associated with mp4 so that it's played in Amarok instead of Kaffeine?
By Obviously anonymous at Thu, 2006/05/11 - 5:00am
Re: Printing
mp4 is usually a video format, so Kaffeine is just fine -- as long as it is video.
It goes like this, you click on the file in your playlist and it opens with Kaffeine.
"you'd have to be quite dumb not to realise that there's something being played."
Come one, you don't manually stop song a and then play song b. you are playing song a and then want to listen to a special audio file (who cares about codecs) b while song a is still playing. As you usually only listen to one song at one time, the default is that your music player stops song a and starts song b. This is the way it *always* works.
That it opens with Kaffeine is no problem, but that Amarok does not stop playing the former file a automatically is. Same goes usually for videos. You don't want to listen to Beethoven and watch a video from Linuxtag together, at least my multitasking capabilities are limited.
It is as you point out just an annoyance, no real problem which could not get fixed by personal activities. But it does mean that I don't like sound on Linux which is not fully ready for me for that small usability annoyance.
A common sound framework is helpful here to improve things.

example code
Just for your information: The example code in the article is from the ArtsPlayer class in JuK. Of course there's a lot more code around that (for example the setVolume code in the original ArtsPlayer expands to some heavy code for inserting the volume control into the signal path). Phonon hides all those details in the backends and, of course, remembers the output volume between media files.

Re: example code
That's really impressive. There is one thing I'm wondering about, shouldn't the destructor delete the m_media, m_path and m_output objects created in the constructor? Or is there some sort of parent/child relationship going on.
Either way, I think Phonon is looking very good.
By Bryan Feeney at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: example code
You guessed right: All three objects inherit from QObject and are hence deleted as soon as the parent gets deleted.
By Daniel Molkentin at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: example code
Those two implementations aren't comparable. In the artsplayer::play() method, there are checks for null which handle it and proceed, while in the phonon implementation, the method just returns without doing anything, as if it wasn't even called. Furthermore, the artsplayer implementation seems to handle that engine being disfunctional, whereas the phonon implementation presumably handles multiple engines internally, but is setup and checked for functionality elsewhere in juk. Having said all that, it does look a little nicer to work with.

Rant on OSDir.com
Christian Schaller of Gnome is not happy about Phonon, according to this rant on http://blogs.gnome.org/view/uraeus/2006/05/11/0 :
..My final objection to Phonon is that even if they manage to prove me wrong on their ability to provide a truly useful limited cross framework API and demonstrates that having a menu option offering your grandma to play her music using framework X,Y or Z actually solves more problems that it creates, I still think that it falls short. Because it wouldn't provide an API to do applications like Pitivi, Diva, Jokosker, Buzztard, Flumotion and so on which I think is where we want to be at today in order to provide a competitive desktop. MacOS X and Windows Vista are showing us that this is the role that the desktop is heading towards.

mutual exclusion? a little bit of confusion
What still I wonder is: there will be mutual exclusion? or media things can co-exists?
By ra1n at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: mutual exclusion? a little bit of confusion
1. Phonon is not a server, it's a thin wrapper API around whatever media framework you like (btw: gstreamder doesn't have a sound "server" component either.
2. Thanks to alsa dmix, it is possible to run multiple frameworks side-by-side. Thus there is no reason why phonon can't coexist peacefully with each of the multimedia frameworks when used via their native APIs.
No server => no significant latency. I have no deeper knowledge about jack and gstreamer but from what I understood you could have a jack sink in gstreamer that just pours the sound into jack. But again: there is no need for that if you use alsa on linux (which all modern distributions do).
By Daniel Molkentin at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: mutual exclusion? a little bit of confusion
Right, its just as problematic to run two gstreamer apps as it is to run a gstreamer and a xine app. And its only a problem if you don't have dmix or a modern sound card.
By Ian Monroe at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
It sounds familiar
Reading all that noise sounded familiar to me. And then I remembered: Corba vs DCOP. When KDE chose DCOP over Corba, exactly the same kind of objections were reaised, the same kind of noise was made. We were dooming the project, Corba is better, DCOP will never make it, you need a super good IPC mecanism that must be hardware independant, programming language independant, network transparent or you are dead. The overhead of maintaining DCOP will kill you while Corba and orbit is there.
The result:
So, let them talk, let them brag, let them predict the doom of KDE and its multimedia framework. KDE developers have shown that they know how to pick up excellent technical solutions that last over the years (arts being a notable exception). Phonon is the way to go and the people who refuses to see it now will be happy that KDE did that in a few years from now.
By Philippe Fremy at Fri, 2006/05/12 - 5:00am
Re: It sounds familiar
Normal users of DE like me, like the work KDE devs are doing. Keep doing what you believe is right. Phonon will turn out to be an elegant piece of software.
I am sure there are many like me who watch silently from the sidelines but trust the KDE devs to do the right thing. We are with you.
I have installed kde as the default DE on all my customer machines (even on RHEL) and they all like it. I have NEVER had a complaint.

GStreamer is a moving target
@Thomas Vander Stichele
Please, do not repeat again that crap about "GStreamer 0.10 begin API/ABI stable". Just a few days ago you yourself (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gstreamer.devel/15342) made a proposal to break API/ABI compatibility in 0.10!
That's exactly why Phonon is the right choice for KDE4. It may be right for Gnome developers to change their software everytime GStreamer changes API/ABI (which is too often, sadly), but it's not for KDE.
If KDE used GStreamer, either KDE app developers stick with GStreamer 0.10.5 for the whole KDE4 lifetime, or KDE app developers change their apps for GStreamer 0.10.6, 0.12, 0.14, etc.
GStreamer releases so many versions with so many changes so often that it's a very fast-moving target, and that's definitely BAD.
By An Onymous at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: GStreamer is a moving target
Heh yea, its kind of ironic that the gstreamer devs would want KDE4 to use gstreamer 0.10. If it actually did, it would mean KDE pretty much forking gstreamer when gstreamer's development moved on in a few years.
By Ian Monroe at Sat, 2006/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: GStreamer is a moving target
I don't see the problem here. If a new version of GStreamer comes out with a new API, then it's up to KDE to port to it, like they would for any other new API, like CUPS etc. This talk that's going around in blogs, that GStreamer folks should maintain KDE's audio layer etc. is totally backwards.
Now, if KDE needs a certain interface for the lifetime of KDE4, all they have to do is open a specific gstreamer library version. It has always been the way, that a simple symlink lets that requested version point to the latest compatible version. And if building with multiple gstreamer versions present is an issue, it only takes an argument to configure, to say where the older header files are located.
By Lee at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: GStreamer is a moving target
Hmm, I think you should go and care for your own business. The KDE people have decided to use Phonon and that's it. We should stop forcing a broken multimedia framework like GStreamer down the throats of users.

That would mean missing any improvements not done in that

- Can the KDE team do it? Not easily, as it's unfamiliar C code and

Re: Xine
Same here, Xine is the only backend thats at all reliable for me in amarok on both of my systems (gstreamer has NEVER worked once), also Kaffine has always been great at playing back at any movie I throw at it (using the Xine backend of course). I've often wished that I could replace aRts on my laptop with a xine based program (when arts plays a sound its all crackily, but not when played with a Xine based player).
By Corbin at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Xine
The problem is, xine is just a playback framework. It doesn't help people who want to do other multimedia things, like actually make a video. And, mplayer duplicates much of that effort. GStreamer, on the other hand, breaks this all down into components, so that people who know how to encode/decode Quicktime really well can do that, and people who know MIDI can do that, etc. Even if each person has their own project, like Amarok, or Xine, or Blender, they could all contribute whatever improvements they want to gstreamer, and EVERY project would benefit. So, having that common multimedia layer that everyone puts their weight behind is much better in the long run, even if it takes a little longer to make it really come to life. It's been too long already; we really need to start working together on this.
By Lee at Sun, 2006/05/14 - 5:00am

Natural woods Collection
The Quick ship program allows for pre-made products to be cut down and sent out fast!
How to install click here !
Tips To Remember:
Use a steel measuring tape
Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measuring for Woven Woods
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will make the correct deduction from the total width to allow for proper installation. Most manufacturers' deduct 3/8" from the total width.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• For Woven Woods make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy I
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allow for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

China is the world's leader in installed wind power capacity. After years of development in the country's north, northeastern and northwestern areas, wind power is spreading across China. Greenpeace's annual industry analysis "China Wind Power Outlook" predicts that China's installed wind power capacity will be between 200 and 300 GW by 2020 and over 400 GW by 2030. And that by 2030, wind power will make up about 8.4% of China's total electricity generation, and 15% of China's installed capacity. It estimates that in 2011 China's wind energy sector generated 71.5 billion kilowatt hours, equivalent to the annual electricity demand of over 47 million households.

text: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Coordinated Care May Address Emergency Department Use by Adults With Disabilities Working-age adults with disabilities account for a disproportionately high amount of annual emergency department visits, reports a comparison study from National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers. The NIH study analyzed pooled data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Researchers found access to regular medical care, health profile complexity, and disability status contributed to people with disabilities' use of the emergency department. Despite representing 17% of the working age US population, the study found that adults with disabilities accounted for 39.2% of total emergency department visits. Those with a severely limiting disability visited an urgent care department more often than their peers and were more likely to visit the emergency department more than 4 times per year. Emergency visits also were associated with poor access to primary medical care, which was more prevalent among adults with disabilities. "We want to understand what takes people to the emergency department to learn if their care could be better managed in other ways," said Elizabeth Rasch, PhD, chief of the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Section in the NIH Clinical Center's Rehabilitation Medicine Department. "While many of those visits may be necessary, it is likely that some could be avoided through better information sharing among all of the health care providers who see a particular individual." The authors make recommendations for providers and policymakers to offset some of the need for emergency care by individuals with disabilities. Prevention and chronic condition management programs tailored for the functional limitations and service needs of people with disabilities may help avoid a crisis situation that would call for an urgent care visit, the report noted. The authors also endorsed wider adoption of coordinated care systems for people with disabilities that provide case management, integration of psychosocial care, and 24/7 access to medical assistance, among other services. Free full text of the study is available online in Health Services Research. Physical therapists (PTs) are increasingly being asked to provide evaluation and management of patients in the emergency department. As part of the emergency department team, PTs have the opportunity to collaborate in the care of patients with a wide range of acute and chronic problems coming from the neuromusculoskeletal, cardiovascular/pulmonary and integumentary systems. PTs in this setting also serve a critical role in screening for appropriateness of care, consultation with other practitioners, and in the direct care of patients. For more information about this expanding area of practice, visit APTA's Physical Therapist Practice in the Emergency Department webpage, which includes a toolkit designed to help PTs initiate the development of a PT practice in an emergency department.

After Rattle and Hum, U2 went away to 'dream it all up again.' Achtung Baby was widely regarded as a sonic and visual reinvention of the band: a step too far in some territories, where Adam's nude image on the sleeve was covered with an appropriately fixed X or clover. At U2's request, Achtung Baby was the first album by a major act to be released in two eco-friendly packages - the jewel box (without the long box attachment) and the cardboard Digi-Trak. The Digi-Trak featured long-box sizes cardboard, which, once its shrink-wrap and two plastic struts are removed, folds around the CD. In Germany, Universal released a 2-CD box set with a copy of both Achtung Baby and Zooropa.
The album peaked at No.2 on the US album chart and at No.1 on the UK album chart. It was certified multi-platinum by the RIAA with 8 million units sold. In Switzerland, Achtung Baby reached No.3 on the album charts and stayed in the charts for a total of 19 weeks and was certified Gold. In Australia, Achtung Baby was certified 5 times platinum by the ARIA.
U2 won the Grammy for Best Rock Album by a Duo or Group and producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno won Producers of the Year for Achtung Baby. Additionally, the album was nominated for Album of the Year. In the Rolling Stone annual reader's poll, it came No. 1 for Best Album and Best Album Cover.
Produced by Daniel Lanois with Brian Eno mainly at Hansa Ton Studios, Berlin, Dog Town, S.T.S., and Windmill Lane, Dublin. Engineered and Mixed by Flood with Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses and Even Better Than The Real Thing mixed by Steve Lillywhite
'All I know is that it feels like what I want right now, it's raw and rough and straightforward and down to the essence of things, quite unpolished in some ways and I like that.'
Edge in Propaganda 15
'I certainly think this record, 'Achtung Baby', is a new start and things move in shifts. I mean, there's another record that belongs with this, just as 'Rattle and Hum' belonged with 'The Joshua Tree'. I know that record, I can hear it in my head already.'
Bono, November 1991
'If you manage to get the four of them in one room with instruments in their hands you're going to get results. That has a lot to do with my job - just getting them in the room and playing.'
Daniel Lanois on making Achtung Baby

Achtung Baby 30 yrs laterDear U2, I hope to God that you do an anniversary tour for Achtung Baby's 30th. No extravagant production like zoo tv, just a logo of the album, so you can play the stadiums. That would be a dream come true if you stop by silicon valley.
09 June, 2018
Best album ever!!!Achtung Baby is the best album ever made by anyone.Have even tattooed on my back.
06 June, 2018
A true masterpiece is born after they drA brilliant album which deserves an anniversary tour in 2021. Maybe they should have kept the live"Acrobat" 3 more years in the closet.

Il miglior album di sempreLo ascolto in macchina, mentre cucino, sotto la doccia, a lavoro.....siete la colonna sonora della mia vita. Love you Bono Vox
29 August, 2012
Achtung baby album , to me.Achtung baby album, the album that marks the re entry of U2 after a pause of years. And it really is another level. ' Rattle and hum ' is back and the dream goes on, and it sounds high,' Even better than the real thing', the musical journey still is and it gains in enrichment as regards possibilities . The album starts with ' Zoo station' and the first lines of the lyrics are more than explicative, they are steps :' I'm ready Ready for the laughing gas I'm ready Ready for what's next Ready to duck Ready to dive Ready to say I'm glad to be alive' The World with the W in capital letter is coming nearer ,part and counterpart ' Until the end of the world'. Everybody having a good time except you. You were talking about the end of the world.' Life can be advertised, piece by piece,as we can admire in the pictoresque cover , but through ' Mysterious ways ', rithme and story it is 'One 'in its entity. It is to say that inner world calls for clarity, new light ' Ultraviolet'. There is a boquet of songs ,' The fly' , ' Who' gonna ride your wild horses', ' So cruel' , ' Trying to throw your arms around the world', ' Acrobat' and ' Love is blindness' that vividly communicates this phase. The sound of the album is precisely measured in the rithme and we can perceive the hard malleability of the metal in the industries. In the new release songs not previously included are now ready to be appreciated in its beauty and arrangements :' Where did all go wrong' , atmosphere of the sixties, ' Blow your house down' ,atmosphere more seventies , ' Lady with the spinning head' , more eighties. Acthung baby is a suffered album, to me, a new level has been reached , the world has been growing and we can do nothing but being part of it. ' From the sky down' is a loyal view of all this.

MORE ACHTUNG...My first CD Audio Record. It was my Christmas' present. I thought it was broken, and my cd player was broken too, and my speakers also, because of the first recorded seconds, due the distorsion and the stereo effect of ZOO STATION!!!!!!! jajajaja! (I can't wait to hear this song performed by nine inch nails, now in 2011) The Fly was the first single I saw on TV and I understood why this new kind of music for U2, this new style, way of life, and I liked it very, very, very much. I brought BONO's FLY Sunglasses and they broked last year during 360 TOUR at Sevilla, Spain. I still have them, broken! jajaja! ULTRAVIOLET was the song of my first grildfriend and me, my first romance! Pretty times! I listened the whole songs of the CD at a pub drinking some beers. It was the first LASER DISC karaoke I saw also. Vinilo spanish version has original lyrics and spanish lyrics!!!! ZOOROPA was the first tour I could see on a stadium, here at Madrid, Spain (where I born and live). It was the first concert of my life, with The RAMONES also :) ACHTUNG BABY OUTTAKES impressed at my soul. This WAS and IS a GREAT RECORD! U2 forever! //SalU2
28 October, 2010
THE BESTto me Achtung Baby is the best rock record ever made. Tension, sensuality, power, melody, each single piece is stunningt and fits in the right place. Bono's voice, Edge's passional guitar and the perfect rythm section by Larry&Adam is at the top. Never an album reached this standards of quality and beauty, and I guess no one other ever will. it's simply the milestone of modern rock history.

As part of AdvisorOne's Special Report, 20 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 2013, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Business Media sister service, Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format. In this eighth article, we look at converting a retirement plan to a Roth IRA. In this fifth article, we look at converting a retirement plan to a Roth IRA.
Can an individual roll over or convert a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan into a Roth IRA?
A "qualified rollover contribution" can be made from a traditional IRA or any eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA. A rollover was not permitted prior to 2010 if a taxpayer had adjusted gross income ("AGI") of more than $100,000 for the taxable year of the distribution to which the rollover related or if the taxpayer was a married individual filing a separate return.
Amounts that are held in a SEP or a SIMPLE IRA that have been held in the account for two or more years also may be converted to a Roth IRA.
The taxpayer must include in income the amount of the distribution from the traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan that would be includable if the distribution were not rolled over. Thus, if only deductible contributions were made to an eligible retirement plan, the entire amount of the distribution would be includable in income in the year rolled over or converted. (Special rules apply for conversions made in 2010.) While the 10 percent early distribution penalty does not apply at the time of the conversion to a Roth IRA, it does apply to any converted amounts distributed during the five year period beginning with the year of the conversion.
Planning Point: Anybody could make a Roth IRA conversion for 2010. Income from a conversion in 2010 can be recognized one-half in 2011 and one-half in 2012, rather than all in 2010.
When an individual retirement annuity is converted to a Roth IRA, or when an individual retirement account that holds an annuity contract as an asset is converted to a Roth IRA, the amount that is deemed distributed is the fair market value of the annuity contract on the date of the (deemed) distribution. If, in converting to a Roth IRA, an IRA annuity contract is completely surrendered for its cash value, regulations provide that the cash received will be the conversion amount.
Non-rollover contributions made to a traditional IRA for a taxable year (and any earnings allocable thereto) may be transferred to a Roth IRA on or before the due date (excluding extensions of time) for filing the federal income tax return of the contributing individual and no such amount will be includable in income, providing no deduction was allowed with respect to such contributions. Such contributions would be subject to the maximum annual contribution limits.A "qualified rollover contribution" is any rollover contribution to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan that meets the requirements of IRC Section 408(d)(3). A rollover or conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA does not count in applying the one IRA-to-IRA rollover in any twelve month period limit. For years prior to 2010, the taxpayer's AGI was calculated without regard to the exclusions for foreign earned income, qualified adoption expenses paid by the employer, and interest on qualified United States savings bonds used to pay higher education expenses. Deductible contributions to a traditional IRA also were not taken into account in determining AGI. Amounts included in gross income as a result of a rollover or conversion from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA were not taken into account. Social Security benefits includable in gross income under IRC Section 86 and losses or gains on passive investments under IRC Section 469 were taken into account. The definition of AGI excludes minimum required distributions to IRA owners aged 70½ or older, solely for purposes of determining eligibility to convert a regular IRA to a Roth IRA.
An eligible retirement plan, for this purpose, includes a qualified retirement plan, an IRC Section 403(b) tax sheltered annuity, or an eligible IRC Section 457 governmental plan. Taxpayers, including plan beneficiaries, can directly transfer (and thereby convert) money from these plans into a Roth IRA without the need for a conduit traditional IRA. (Other than by direct conversion from an eligible non-IRA retirement plan, a beneficiary may not convert to a Roth IRA.)
Unless a taxpayer elects otherwise, income from conversions to Roth IRAs occurring in 2010 will be reported ratably in 2011 and 2012.
Qualified rollover contributions do not count toward the annual maximum contribution limit applicable to Roth IRAs.
A rollover from a Roth IRA or a designated Roth account to a Roth IRA is not subject to the adjusted gross income limitation and is not subject to tax.
Planning Point: Major reasons for converting to a Roth IRA often include obtaining tax free qualified distributions from the Roth IRA and greater stretch from the Roth IRA because distributions from a Roth IRA are not required until after the death of the owner (or the death of the IRA owner's spouse if the spouse is the sole designated beneficiary and elects to treat the IRA as the spouse's own), rather than starting at age 70½. A conversion also may make sense if it is expected that tax rates will increase (from the time of conversion to the time of distribution), but not if tax rates will decrease. Consider whether any special tax benefits, such as net unrealized appreciation, would be lost if a qualified plan is converted to a Roth IRA. Also, a qualified plan may offer better asset protection than a Roth IRA. State laws vary on this issue. If a taxpayer cannot qualify under the Roth AGI limitations, perhaps he or she can establish a traditional IRA, and then convert that into a Roth IRA. Note that this, however, has not yet been addressed by the IRS.
If a taxpayer has rolled over funds from a traditional IRA or other eligible retirement plan to a Roth IRA during the taxable year, and later discovers that his or her AGI is in excess of $100,000 in a year before 2010 (or for any other reason wants the transaction undone), the taxpayer generally has until the due date for filing his or her return (including extensions) to correct such a conversion without penalty, to the extent all earnings and income allocable to the conversion are also transferred back to the original IRA, and no deduction had been allowed with respect to the original conversion.
This "recharacterization" in the form of a trustee-to-trustee transfer results in the recharacterized contribution being treated as a contribution made to the transferee IRA, instead of to the transferor IRA. A taxpayer can apply to the IRS for relief from the time limit for making a recharacterization.
For purposes of a recharacterized contribution, the net income attributable to a contribution made to an IRA is determined by allocating to the contribution a pro-rata portion of the earnings or losses accrued by the IRA during the period the IRA held the contribution. This allows the taxpayer to claim any net income that is a negative amount.
A time restriction is placed on reconversions (i.e., converting to a Roth IRA a second time after recharacterizing a first conversion). A person can reconvert back to a Roth IRA but only after the later of the beginning of the next year or thirty days after the recharacterization.
Planning Point: Where the value of converted property drops after a conversion to a Roth IRA, it may be useful to recharacterize the contribution back to the other type of IRA and then reconvert to a Roth IRA to reduce the amount taxable on converting to a Roth IRA. The time restriction on reconversions reduces, but does not eliminate, the potential value of this technique.
Reconversions and recharacterizations must be reported to IRS on Form 1099-R and Form 5498. Prior year recharacterizations must be reported under separate codes. All recharacterized contributions received by an IRA in the same year are permitted to be totaled and reported on a single Form 5498.

text: Friday, October 12, 2012 New Podcast: Using Evidence in a Private Outpatient Setting In a new podcast titled "Using Evidence in a Private Outpatient Setting," Jason Grandeo, PT, DPT, OCS, shares the 3 main strategies that he and his colleagues at Body Dynamics Inc in Falls Church, Virginia, use to incorporate evidence in practice: monthly journal clubs, grand rounds focused on the hands-on examination and treatment aspect of physical therapy, and Physicians' Information and Education Resource (PIER) summaries. PIER summaries are completed when a physician or other health care provider comes to the facility to discuss an area in which he or she specializes. Grandeo also offers tips for physical therapists who have not yet incorporated evidence in their practice. "Make a pitch for using 1 of the strategies we use, such as a journal club, or doing it as a group. If there is no interest, you may need to ask yourself if you are working at the best place to support your career growth." This recording is part of the Research to Practice podcast series, which provides practical information on implementing the use of research as part of evidence-based practice in the physical therapy clinic.

Field School Week 2
The Archaeology Field School had off Monday for Memorial Day so excavation resumed on Tuesday. It was very hot so tents were put up to keep the units from drying out to quickly. Shovel test were conducted at the prize house and a possible foundation was discovered. Brick was uncovered in unit 7 that may relate to a walkway uncovered during last year's field school.The heat continued into Wednesday and the tents were again set up. An electrical wire was found running in Unit 7 which halted excavation since it was unsure if it was live or not. Gravel and brick were uncovered in Unit 8 which suggests a more modern pathway existed there at one point.The field school went to D.C. on Thursday to visit the Smithsonian Natural History museum and the American Indian museum. The Natural History museum had two exhibits that were of interest to the field school. The first exhibit was titled "Written in Bone" and was about skeletal remains found in the Chesapeake Bay area during the 17th century. The second was the Hall of Human Origin which dealt with human family tree and how early humans lived in their environment. The second Museum visited was the American Indian museum. Here we ate a meal consisting of traditional Native American foods. Afterwards we visited the many exhibits that the museum had.On Friday, the field school returned to the site with a much cooler temperature than earlier in the week. Shovel test were continued at the prize house in hopes of uncovering more of the possible foundation that was discovered on Tuesday however it was not found. Units 7 and 9 are temporarily being closed and two new units are being opened. Unit 11 is being opened next to unit 6 while unit 10 is being opened to run between units 4 and 8. These two new units are being opened in a hope of finding where the foundation wall in unit 4 goes.— Chris Menke '14

Genworth Financial's annual study on the cost of LTC takes a look at the escalating costs of LTC of various types throughout the country, and this year draws on 10 years of data.
The 2013 Cost of Care Survey, conducted by CareScout, includes nearly 15,000 LTC providers from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., divided into 437 regions across the country. Also available at Genworth's website are a mobile app and an interactive map that provide access to the data from wherever you happen to be (hopefully not already in a nursing home).
Only a lucky 30% of the population is estimated not to need long-term care after age 65, so those who think they'll be in the majority should keep an eye on costs, since they vary substantially by location. While there are no bargains among these 10 states, you can check out the 10 cheapest states for LTC.
We've averaged costs for the four categories of adult day care, licensed home care, assisted living and nursing home private rooms. (Last year we excluded adult day care from the averages because the figures varied widely enough from state to state to skew the results. This year, other categories exhibited widely varying figures as well, so adult day care has been included in our calculations.)

KOffice 2.0 Beta1 Released
The KOffice team is proud to announce the first beta of KOffice 2.0. The goal of this release is to gather feedback from both users and developers on the new UI and underlying infrastructure. This will allow us to release a usable 2.0 release, demonstrating our vision for the future of the digital office to a larger audience and attract new contributions both in terms of code and ideas for improvements. Read on for more information or see the announcement and download it from the release notes.
This is the first beta release of KOffice 2.0, and the first version we encourage users to download and try out. After a very long development cycle KOffice is now in feature freeze. The development team will from now on shift focus from new features to bug fixes until 2.0 is released.
The release team has decided that the following applications are mature enough to be part of 2.0:
The chart application KChart is available as a shape plugin, which means that charts are available in all the KOffice applications in an integrated manner.
Highlights of KOffice 2.0
KOffice 2 will be a much more flexible application suite than KOffice 1 ever was. The integration between the components is much stronger, with the revolutionary Flake Shapes as the central concept. A Flake Shape can be as simple as a square or a circle or as complex as a chart or a music score.
With Flake, any KOffice application can handle any shape. For instance, KWord can embed bitmap graphics, Krita can embed vector graphics and Karbon can embed charts. This flexibility does not only give KOffice unprecedented integration, but also allows new applications to be created very easily. Such applications could target special user groups such as children or certain professions.
Unified Look and Feel
All the applications of KOffice have a new GUI layout better suited to today's wider screens. The GUI consists of a workspace and a sidebar where tools can dock. Any tool can be ripped off to create its own window and later be redocked for full flexibility. The users setup preferences are of course saved and reused the next time that KOffice is started.
Platform Independence
All of KOffice is available on Linux with KDE or GNOME, Windows and Macintosh. Solaris will follow shortly and we expect builds for other Unix versions to become available soon after the final release. Since KOffice builds on Qt and the KDE libraries, all applications integrate well with the respective platforms and will take on the native look and feel.
Native Support for OpenDocument
KOffice uses the OpenDocument Format as its native format. This will guarantee interoperation with many other Office packages such as OpenOffice.org and MS Office. The KOffice team has representatives on the OASIS technical committee for ODF and has been a strong participant in the process of shaping ODF since its inception.

By know at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: ot: status of linuxmce?
this is very off-topic, but you're right...
huge announcement:
but it seems nothing has happened...is it dead?
besides, linuxmce's UI is extremely ugly. xbmc is *way* better than linuxmce.
Look at it!!!
but even the standard skin is way sexier than linuxmce.
looks like linuxmce was the wrong choice. I suggest going xbmc!
thanks for reading... :)
By fish at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: ot: status of linuxmce?
I am one of the developers of LinuxMCE.
Yes, we agree that the Basic skin currently in use on our Orbiter is not very pretty, we do have the capability for looking a lot better, we just need interested artists to work with us for making a complete replacement for Basic, for not only one target, but 7 different device targets.
We are far superior to XBMC and other "Media Center" solutions, precisely because we are NOT a media center, but a whole house smart platform, and this whole house philosophy extends to each and every display surface in the house, not only TVs and monitors, but:
* Tablets
and more.
Can XBMC do this? no. not really.
So instead of people trying to scream at us for it being ugly, why don't interested parties come to LinuxMCE, watch the HADesigner screencasts, and help us make a new look?
That would be fantastic.
By Thom Cherryhomes at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: ot: status of linuxmce?
I'm atm trying to get a media center pc with linuxmce up and running for my brother.. but well.. he HATES that interface and that's the reason he's looking for something else... it feels REALLY slow and looks just plain ugly... well.. we seem to agree on that point.. also it's sometimes badly structured and challenging to use (you get tons of fullscreen messages during install that new hardware was plugged in .. good idea but it should be grouped/...)
No I'm no artist .. I'm just trying to evaluate the problem... as far as I've heard the HADesigner is pretty powerful but it's horrible to work with it .. doesn't make it really attractive for designers who are (at least the designers I know) always a bit shy about software which looks really complex...
So.. what has happend to the plans about UI3 .. there were disussions about it long time ago but it seemed like there was no decision (flash, ...) and so nothing happend.. or am I wrong here?
This post shouldn't be offending .. I'm just trying to find out how the current state of development is
Best regards,
By Bernhard at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: ot: status of linuxmce?
first of all: thanks for notice our questions, Thom.
By know at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: ot: status of linuxmce?
Actually, I can control XBMC from my computer, phone, tablet, etc. because of python extensions. I don't see why I would want to however.

Err, I really hope the fonts in KWord will look different from that screenshot...
Just look at the line next to the blue man that starts with "Ut wisi enim..."
By Typesetter at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
This looks like a fuck-up caused by built-in window$ font rendering routines. I know Qt strives for native look&feel, but... was it necessary to do this with the document view? Isn't it sufficient to use native widgets for the interface, and render the document with some other font rendering engine that doesn't suck as much?
By slacker at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
If you have antialiased fonts activated, it will indeed look just like you expect it to. This screenshot was taken on a windows machine that has font hinting/antialiasing disabled. I agree, it was not a very good choice.
By Johannes Simon at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
Fonts without antialiasing are much better for my eyes.
Except only Asus EEE PC witn subpixel rendering.
By anon at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
Again, letterspacing problems are caused by trying to show on your computer screen what will get out of your printer. Your screen is probably around 100 dpi which means that fonts need to get hinted. Hinting means that the width of each glyph will be adjusted to the screen pixels, so it'll be different than the exact glyph width. And that means that at certain points the error becomes one pixel, which means the placement of the next glyph has to be adjusted to not let the error become bigger and bigger, and that results in either big or too narrow gaps between two letters. Your printer doesn't have that issue since it's dpi is much greater.
The other option would be to turn off all hinting, and then you get a lot of fuzziness, but no spacing problems.
By ben at Thu, 2008/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
No, this is simply because KOffice strives to show real-sizes. So 100% means an amount of pixels that is equal to a real world size. I.e. an A4 page in KWord is really A4 size on your screen. The slight zoom (0.981 on my laptop) causes rounding errors in Qt to be very visible.
Will work on fixing.

A good start would be to read http://www.antigrain.com/research/font_rasterization/index.html
By christoph at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
Hmm, I'm quite sure that what I was saying is the real cause. If it shows nice at 100% on your screen I think that's just luck. Move to another screen with a different dpi and it should look worse then (since measured in pixels 100% on your screen would be 98% on another for example)...
By ben at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Qt and fonts :)
ps. never said it shows correctly on my screen.
By Thomas Zander at Sat, 2008/09/27 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
OK, I read your reply again, and looks like I misread it. But now I see you've basically said the same I did in my first reply, only you didn't go into details how it "exactly" happens... :-)
If what I said really was wrong in some way then please tell me what exactly is wrong.
By ben at Sat, 2008/09/27 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
The screenshot: "koffice2-beta-windows.png" is certainly not the way that I want WYSIWYG to be displayed. The glyphs appear to be hinted since they are aligned with the screen pixels. I do not want WYSIWYG to use hinted glyphs.
I trust that you are knowledgeable. However, the issue exists that: 1) Hinted at screen resolution & 2}) WYSIWYG are mutually exclusive.
Hinted at screen resolution normally makes the lines longer. So, it you are going to use hinted glyphs with the same metrics as WYSIWYG, you are going to have spacing issues like the screenshot. Whatever the cause, there needs to be a way to fix this problem.
By JRT at Sat, 2008/09/27 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
Funny as far as I remember, there have been fonts issue in *every* promotion screencapture of KOffice..
That's too bad: there have been lots of efforts spent on it, yet they're (to some extent) wasted by the usual font rendering ugliness..
By renox at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Typesetting
i have to agree: if i had to choose between almost unreadable fonts (try to identify all the whitespaces in the screenshot) or a non-exact size, i'd choose the non-exact size, especially if that's what other word processors do too.
btw, just out of curiosity: how come this problem is so hard to solve (eg not by just using a greater precision in the calculations) ? It seems to me that moving some chars 1 px to the left / right would make the text readable, so it is not yet the "half a pixel" problem here.. I'm not implying here that i think it is a simple problem (i know problems sometimes are much harder than they look at first sight), i'm just a bit curious ... Also i guess scribus avoids these problems because they are using a whole different mechanism of font rendering ?

My favorite part of koffice is Krita it an application that looks and feels really useful. I have not use it alot, but compare to krita 1.X it is capable of so much more. A goof job by all the Krita developers

thanks really for mentioning the obvious, koffice works for linux either you use gnome or ( insert you favorite GDE)
mmmm, if only you have used more original names, except krita, honestly how we pronounce koffice, kword ?

Kay-office and kay-word. Sort of like eye-life and eye-photo. Isn't this complaint played out yet?
By jason at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Pronunciation is that, but I was always wondering why the word processor component had a name so strikingly similar to the most used word processor from a very large company. The similarities between the two programs are dwindling - a new name for KWord would be brilliant. KType? KText? KProcessor?
By Morten Juhl-Joh... at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Naming
"word processor" => "KWord". Logical. Send complaints to that other company for using a generic name as a trademark.
By zonk at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: the best release announcement ever
Note the capitalization, they help with pronunciation.
The first 2 are just single words, the second two are basically a normal word with a K plastered in front. We decided on those names many many years ago, no way to change them now :)
By Thomas Zander at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: the best release announcement ever
The problem with Knames (or iNames, Gnames etc.) is quite simple really. Suppose that you have a menu that lists your apps. If they all start with a K, it means that you need to look at the SECOND letter and beyond to determine which app is which.
Take Krunner for example. I use it to launch my apps. With Knames, I need to type more letters for it to determine what app I'm trying to launch, since lots and lots of apps start with a "K".
With more varied naming, the names would be more spread out to different letters, making it easier to select them from a list or launch from Krunner.

Re: the best release announcement ever
> Take Krunner for example. I use it to launch my apps. With Knames, I need to type more letters for it to determine what app I'm trying to launch, since lots and lots of apps start with a "K".
That's a bad example. KRunner will also match "onq" to "Konqueror", or "document viewer" to "Okular". So, it will be sufficient to type "pres" if you want to launch "KPresenter".
By Stefan Majewsky at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: the best release announcement ever
Try to simply skip typing the K the next time. I do share your sentiment about the names in menu's, although my default menu doesn't even have the names in there anymore. It is also a bit annoying if you need to edit configuration files: every file there starts with a k...

table and printing support
Two things that kept me away from kword were (1) bad table support; I have never got it right in kword and (2) ugly print-out; a document good looking on screen would be ugly when printed. Have these things improved in kword ?
except for these two annoyances I should say the kword and koffice in general are really great.
By asok at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: table and printing support
Print outs have gotten excellent. This is the main reason I picked up my participation again for KOffice2. KOffice makes PDF creation a first-row-citizen and the PDFs created at least in KWord look great!
Any text problems you see on screen are not present in the PDF.
The tables situation has not improved, we have recognized the problem though and are working on a good way to do tables. I have great ideas on how to do this and work much better using the text layout itself (meaning it will work in all koffice apps).

Daily SVN builds
There are ~50Mb binary ArchLinux packages, built from KDE SVN trunk every day, for Koffice available below. ArchLinux binary packages are basically tarballs that can be extracted from / (root) on any linux distro, but, some library dependencies could be different. Could be useful for some folks to try Koffice out.

Will Koffice 2.0 support ODF 1.2?
or will that have to wait for the 2.1 release?
i ask because in theory the ODF 1.2 spec is due out around now........
By Dimble at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Will Koffice 2.0 support ODF 1.2?
Yes and no. It will support some parts of 1.2, although I can't really define exactly which parts. But no, it will not support the full 1.2 spec, which is actually quite big.
But then on the other hand, no office suite supports all of ODF 1.2.

many thanks for the update.
By Dimble at Fri, 2008/09/26 - 5:00am
Re: Will Koffice 2.0 support ODF 1.2?
But that is not the reason to not try to implent all 1.2 features as fast as possible ;-)
Isn't it the reason why we have the standards so we can be sure it is supported? ;-))
By Fri13 at Sat, 2008/09/27 - 5:00am
Re: Will Koffice 2.0 support ODF 1.2?
We surely do want to support as much of ODF as possible, but at the same time you have to keep in mind that we have only limited resources. Once we have the time and a reasonable enough idea of how to implement a certain feature, it will get into KOffice as soon as we're done with it.

Re: kword
You get a context menu when right-clicking the text. Select the entry "Font..." and there you go :-)
I personally use other buttons like 'Italic' or 'Align Block/Justify' quite often, and usually change the font type only one time per document, so I'm satisfied with how things are now.

Data Pilot / Pivot Table
Hey guys: Does anyone knows if KSpread would have Dynamic Tables with Data Base support . Excel have his Pivot Table, and OpenOffice his Data Pilot (IMHO OpenOffice Data Pilot sucks compared to the "other", i don't know if OO Pivot Table is too slow because of Java or why.).
But that functionality isn't available in KSpread, would KSpread have this functionality?
