Comment on Faith vs. Hope by Xola SENAYA

Xola SENAYA — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:54:21 +0000

Brilliant comments.
I also think in developing our faith,we often find ourselves in trying situations, whereby doubts start creeping in to weaken our faith.It would be necessary to continually neutralise those doubts by transmuting them into faith, through constant prayer,positive thinking and postive affrmations.
When Peter started walking on the sea towards Jesus, it was firstly through hope and then an exercise of faith.However,when he started wondering whether it was actually he, Peter walking on the sea,those thought waves brought in an element of doubt which wekened his faith and resulted in his sinking into the water.
Best wishes,

XOLA.

I would advice against using just ‘xhost +’ as it will allow remote boxes to gain access to your xserver (display,mouse,and keyboard). At least use ‘host +localhost’ so the security hole won’t be as accesible remotely.

Comment on The Death Star Attack: An Inside Job? by Fr

Of course the Death Star Attcks was an Inside Job. It was prepared by the scriptwriter. It was a sci-fi movie and it happens what the scriptwriter wants to.

The oficial conspiratory theory of 9/11 is sci-fi too.

Hi Tom,
I just released an open-source project for integrating DirectShow and WPF via the new D3DImage. Lemme know what you think!

Btw, didn’t know you worked at Pelco! We just finished an integration with your product!

James,

I’m sorry, but the code is proprietary to my employer. However, with the release of .NET 3.5 SP1, it is possible to achieve the same thing without this DirectShow work-around. Look at the D3DImage object and THIS article on CodeProject. Performance still needs to be evaluated, but I don’t foresee a significant amount of overhead given what we know about how the MIL works.

Hey Tom,

Do you have any code to share with this technique? I’d love to see your latest and see how you were able to finish it out…

Thanks,
James
