    isomeme writes: "A California court has ruled that posting another person's libelous text online is not a separate act of libel. See this article for the full scoop.

I'm not sure if this ruling is a good thing or not; as the opposing attorney pointed out, it seems to provide a loophole for libel, protecting online speech more than other varieties."

Following is a quote from the official fltk site... "Due to a management change at Digital Domain, fltk is no longer public. Already-distributed versions remain under the LGPL." ". Here is an example of what FLTK can do, and some documentation. I suggest people mirror this stuff quickly... The official mirror is also still up.

    This link provides a biography of Noel Godin- the guy who recently cream pied Bill Gates. This guy is a serious nutball- he pies people regularly as part of an ongoing game he seems to play with the world. It's very humorous reading- there is a lot more to this than we originally thought. Thanks to Chrome Void for sending this in.
