Why is it that every LAS Video is out of Sync for me? :( Thats sooo sad!

BTW Chris, what editing program do you use?

I like the gnome 3 look. Im not sure if i like the user experience yet.

@uncut02 It's an issue related to the length of LAS, and the video bits hitting the disk after the audio bits do the longer the recorder is under load. But I came up with a solution for our new show TechSNAP that seems to have fixed it. Going to try it for next LAS.

We use Final Cut Pro, and sometimes Adobe Premiere.

I have to admit every time I've tried Unity or Gnome3 or even KDE I've found myself running away after a couple of weeks. I just find it too difficult to adapt. So I'm sticking with 10.4 LTS for the foreseeable future. Frankly I don't think Linux is supposed to be designed for simplicity. That's what Windows and Mac are for. Linux is for a user who wants to be able to customize her computer to work the way she wants it, not for a first-time user who's never seen a computer before.

@maw88ify I agree, but at least they are both newb friendly, and that's what is important nowadays. You should've to realise the fact when everyone just want an iphone, etc that nobody cares what else could've been done on that system. They just want this or that in one click/touch/keypress... Sadly ofcourse but these are facts :(

@Rokalacs Linus Torvalds the CREATOR of Linux says Gnome 3 is an "Unholy mess." , and ask the people at GNOME to keep making GNOME2 . He also said Unity was buggy .

[emewify]

dont switch to the newer versions then (gnome 2 and lxde are the best

)

You guys make your podcasts wayyyyyyyyyy too long

Everyone's whining about Gnome3's customizability. C'mon people let's realize facts, most of the problems in Linux come from customizability, every freaking person have different distributions, wm's, programs, etc which can crash or do something shit with XY other package/program/distribution. The main problem that nobody knows what's the problem. Okay, the design is shit imo too, but I like that I can't go shit with it, or maybe just by the hard way.

have you thought that the fact that OSX and Windows's UI paradigm's didn'T change is a _good_ thing? users accepted these paradigms by heart, got used to them and got used to work productively? As a Linux-user, I have the feeling that I have constantly change all my habits because some idiot thought he had to "innovate" something. First kde 3.5, a perfectly working sytsem got borked by 4.x, now same thing is going with gnome3 and unity
