  1. The same way as you hire programmers on Hiring Artists for Open Source Projects? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Why do programmers work on OS projects?

    • It's an intereseting project

    ... is that I can't use them. I have a Marantz dv4200 DVD player, that I also use for playing CDs. This is no problem with ordinary cds, but the copy prot. cd I have from EMI won't play.

Young woman in belly shirt, standing at the southwest corner, steps off sidewalk to cross against the light.
