When 60 million homes have broadband (and assuming they all are pirates, as the MPAA fears). Then a new problem will arise for the content industry.
It is already becoming social acceptable to download copyrighted material, if this trend continues and it becomes entirely normal and socially acceptable to do these things, then why would it be illegal? We live in a democratic society where our laws reflect the values of the majority don't we?
The industry is taking the wrong approach by saying 'Everybody does it' they should be saying 'Only thieves and robbers do it'. They should try make such actions seem as reprehensible as possible, not normal activities.
Well I agree that that image was pretty flaky, but I wouldn't blame that on it being SVG. That image is a common PostScript example, it was probably just converted to SVG. Also keep in mind that this lib still doesn't pass most of W3C's SVG tests. For some nice examples of larger SVG's you could check out Batik
The most exciting thing I think SVG could bring to the desktop though is a rendering system as powerful as NeXTStep and Mac OSX.
Icons are only a small part of what SVG Graphics are about. However being the most common images used on the desktop it is a logical starting point for SVG graphics.
WTF are you getting those numbers? 2.5Mbps cable line here in NS, Canada is $40CND/month ($25US). Perhaps the real problem is that the people with the keys to the onramp are being a little to stingy in the US?
"The radio spectrum is a finite resource" is a fallacy. Radio spectrum is nearly unlimited, the problem is that the people who are using it don't want competitors and the gov't wants to have tight control over what people are yelling out to the masses.
"If there are legal protections they don't have that they need, we need to look at that," he said. The first step in this would obviously to add an exception to the DMCA stating that the circumvention of security measures in a product is legal if done for research purposes. Take this to your representative!
What Macrovision bypasser? That's a "Video Stablizer".

Transgaming was promising to give back their sourcecode ton Wine. They've since changed their policy on that and any mention of merging with the wine tree after meeting their targets has been silently dropped from their website.
I think that the reason ads all seem to come on at once is most stations begin a program at the same time. And they all have the basic pattern of 7 or 8 minutes of show 2 minutes of ads.
That doesn't explain why they are on a holy war against all things GPL. If they don't want to use it, that's fine, but why bitch that nobody else should use it either?
Does anybody know of any linux motion tracking projects that could do the same thing? It sounds really cool, but I was to cheap to pay $200 extra for XP when I bought my computer *shrug*
Yeah, a link to an standard document format that you can get viewers for on almost every platform. Damn that's soo inconsiderate, where's those word documents?

1- Pacifism is good, but you still need to defend your self.
2- Kick that bully in the balls.
3- Repeat 2.
? I'm sorry, but I'm utter confused by your comment. When was Children of Dune a horror film?

I know just the car you're talking about. The local Honda tuner here has one sitting in his garage right now. I love that car.

And the fact they get paid to approve patents, not to turn them down.
What I meant is that using spread spectrum technology there is no need to ration out frequency bands, as they can share.

No since the BSD license doesn't say "This is public domain" anywheres in it. Very diffrent principles

This article is a follow-up of the story posted on Saturday. Geez people you people are like rabid dogs.
- follow-up
to that story. If you read the article you would of noticed this.I think that the reason ads all seem to come on at once is most stations begin a program at the same time. And they all have the basic pattern of 7 or 8 minutes of show 2 minutes of ads.
Not by much, I buy wholesale and a hardware 56Kbs modem is only $10 more expensive then the equivalant software modem.
Which brings me to this point. MS "Shared Source License" is just as viral as the GPL (see The Register
wtf? I just said if they don't want to use it thats fine, but why this holy war? If Microsoft doesn't want to use GPL software they don't have too.

I know lots of people that will produce the contents of their pants for only a few cents :P

Are you using an AMD system? There is a known problem with AGP memory handling, try adding mem=nopentium to your kernels paramaters. Works for me :)
