Man, this reminds me of H2K. Hearing stuff on the security radio about Draper, and then having the security staff deny it. The amount people cover for this guy is outstanding.
I don't know if he is a preditor or not, but I've been around him enough to know to encourage everyone to stay away from this guy.
CU30 is one choice for 30 fps live video conferencing.
Its under the GPL and MPL and has (or still is) been supported via open h323 as an external library and gnome meeting should work. (I havn't confirmed either)
Qvix Technologies has a propritary version of the same codec, only much more refined. (I used to work for them.)
I've been playing around with speex when i was working on an audio conferencing. It's a simple api, and the audio quality comes out okay for voice too. (unless you try sending music through, then it really just craps out)
If only I could get the windows side of the cross-platform audio caputre stuff so nice.
If I were called upon to answer the following question: What is slavery? and I replied: It is murder, my meaning would be comprehended immediately. There would be no need for amplification to demonstrate that the power to deprive a man of his thought, will, and personality is the power of life and death and that to make a man a slave is to kill him. Why, therefore, may I not meet this other question: What is property? by replying: It is theft, without feeling certain I shall be misunderstood, although this second proposition is no more than a transformation of the first?

He's a wonderfully plain-spoken person. My other favorite Jon Johansen quote is from when he was responding to reporter Declan McCullagh, and Declan was arrogantly giving Jon a hard time for not immediate returning Declan's request for comment:

Subject: [Livid-dev] Wired article on legal threats
I assume you've read a great deal of articles on the subject? If you have, you might have noticed that I'm only 15 years old; which means I go to school. Norway is GMT+01. You should be able to figure out the time difference, and when I would be available for comment:)
Yeah, and I think at least everyone on the LiViD list knows what kind of person Declan is. Highly amusing that his first article on DeCSS was just about calling for the head Jon, and yet he was at the protest outside the 2600 court case in NYC.

Interestingly enough, I went to one of Chomsky's recent talks at the University of Maryland, and he was asked about comparing code and speech.
He said flat out that all computer code is, is a "theory typed up in a funny code, so that a computer can read it". He reiterated all computer code as equivalent to theory, and then used that to show how it was a stupid idea to try to make a sentient AI.
Being just a complex theory, can't make it sentient.
On the first day gas was first used when the fence came down, which was before stones were thrown. The second day they gassed everyone and anyone, as soon as enough people were in a crowd.
It didn't matter what anyone were doing, they gassed the whole city. Even to the point where it made it up to the conference area.
It also didn't matter what anyone was doing when police were shooting at protesters and passer-bys alike at their heads. People who expected a peacefull march down the street were more of a target then the more militant protesters. It is the militants who showed courage in their determination and lack of fear.
That may be what he said later, but DeCSS was written for windows because it was mostly the original program just disassembled.
It was partially based off of LiViD code and a copy of the source was give to the writter of cssauth, Derek Fawcus. It was mentioned on LiViD that code to decrypt CSS now existed, and a link to a ftp site was posted.
That ftp site, if one explored, had a copy of the source for the first hour or so, then it was pulled. About 10 people or so downloaded a copy of the source code. No one would publish it, due to the fact that it was clearly ripped from the windows player and they were worried about legal problems.
Derek said he would rewrite the code, so a clean room implimentation would be available as well as adding a couple more features. He, unfortunitly, had to deal with some personal engagments and after a considerable bit of time still no code was available. Finally, someone anonymously posted the code to LiViD. 2 days later CSS was completly defeated.
So it was LiViD who wanted the linux player, DeCSS was written because someone thought it would be cool to do so. Just like Drink or Die's earlier descrambler, neither really did much other then say "We are smarter then you" to the entire DVD industry.
If I'm not mistaken, copyright lasts the duration of the creator's lifetime. Which isn't arbitrary

What's the big deal with all the new file systems?

What's the big deal with reiserfs, devfs, and the shared memory file systems? Are they valid for kernel proper? And what is the purpose for the shared memory stuff? I've read a little about journaling file systems, they sound neat. And I don't think I fully understand the purpose of devfs, but why the new fstab entry for shm?
Don't trash the environmentalists (does that sound right? who knows). Environmentalists, feminists, NRA, PETA. All these groups are the core of our real political process. While it is true that these groups seem to dominate your government...that is how it is SUPOSED to be.
The day environmentalists and feminists start to dominate the political process instead of big business will be the day the govenment makes it illegal to be an enviromentalist or a feminist.
Montag, You can count me in for anything. I was on that list. Its a good thing I printed up my own DeCSS t-shirt, and now I'll have something to wear it to.
Hopefully the 60 mins interview will help clear up the misconception that he stole credit card numbers and commited malicous acts.
Even if you have a negative opinion of Mitnick, the abuses that the media and government and prison officals made against him make this an important case.

Maybe now people can settle on one interface instead of repeating everything over and over again.
Hopefully this will allow some really fast and tight YUVRGB code so that we don't have to worry about that and can have a nice common interface.

it makes sure all changes are released under the GPL. It turns copyright on its head, forcing any change to be released to the community.
Software should not have owners.

come on, roblimo is a far worse author then john katz ever was. (in no way is this saying katz is good.)
