  1. "which kills 100% of animals it infects" by mirko · · Score: 1 · on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research

    I was about to ask how many it infects, but I RTFA-ed.
    So the answer is :
    The new virus kills all mice even if they have been given antiviral drugs as well as a vaccine that would normally protect them.
    i.e. : it kills them all.

    (BTW: Tompox has nothing to do with this virus.)

  2. Insightful/Informative/Interesting MOD THIS UP !!! by mirko · · Score: 1 · on AES Announced as Federal Standard

    Excellent answer, thank you very much.

    Pity, Slashdot has not given me the possibility to send you this notice in private (* hint ! * hint !* ), hence such "noise" which I apologize for.

    Now, if I happen to successfully develop an AES "decryptor", may I publish its source code without infringing the DMCA?

    GNUArt protect art, not the artist, this means that if -for example- Britney Spears put one of her songs under the GNU GPL License, she is not obliged to do so with all the rest (Thanks God ;-) but we will fight to preserve her rights on what she accepted to share,...

    A full time artist may also live by GPL'ing his stuff, as if he gets enough recognition, he then may earn money with either concerts, expositions or whatever else, which doesn't forbid any other to do so with *his* creations, but just gives *him* a chance to get more recognition with fewer risks as either
    • being the prisoner of a contract signed with a major company
    • just giving away stuff that may be "patented by somebody else"

    I think GNUArt is the missing link and I'll translate it ASAP. Please, use the Fish, till then.

    A former famous hardcore band from France also "gave" us the responsability of putting all their stuff under the GNU GPL License: Garlic Frog Diet...

    Also, Tompox, in my .sig is the first band to ever have GPL'ed its stuff (including the now famous Free Software Song Remix and Debugging, by RMS.)

    And BTW, there no License called the GNU art License, we only use the GNU GPL License itself.

  6. Napster issues by mirko · · Score: 4 · on Napster, Edel Hook Up

    Yesterday evening and this morning (MET/GMT+1) I filled Napster form in order to get my GPL'd music available for free to the whole Napster Community.
    I also use it as a test in order to know whether I can trust them for a more ambitious project.
    After clicking the submit button, I got a form to print, to fill and sign and to fax them in order to activate my account.
    I tried many times to fax it but their device never answered.
    How surprising, my entry was added.
    I believe I could have filled the HTML form with Metallica's name and Lars Ulrich as contact.
    Of course, I could have easily been caught "la main dans le sac" but there's still a problem, here.
