So, who do you trust? Microsoft? Apple? That's the 2 other major players and I honestly don't trust them more than I trust Real. The difference here is that the Helix player is open source. That's a big plus in my book
The Kolab Project is a project that was sponsored by the German "Federal Agency of IT-Security". The Kolab server is based upon several open source software pieces: OpenLDAP, Postfix, Cyrus IMAP, Apache and more. Kontact (combines the following KDE apps: KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook and KNotes) will soon be ready for use as a Kolab client too. There are other clients too.
As a KDE user you can look forward to a (most likely) KDE 4.0 release that'll start faster and run faster, have smaller memory requirements, look better and have better accesibillity.
And you say there's nothing to be excited about as a KDE user?
So when will KDE 4.0 be released? I have no idea (and I'm not a KDE developer so I have no influence at all - I have just followed the KDE losely for quite a while) but my wild guess would be fall 2005:)
I live in little Denmark and we've had something like 98% coverage (more or less everyone can get ADSL) for a few years I believe. Futhermore, various power companies is starting to offer "fiber to home" solutions in various parts of the country and VoIP is a pretty hot subject here too.
On a speed/watt basis, efficeons are by far the best.
Are you sure? How does it compare to Via's latests C3 CPU's? I could imagine they would be able to compete pretty well, but I haven't seen any comparisons.

I had a Motorola Accompli 008 (I needed a calendar) which can be described as an older version of this phone I believe and it sounds like this phone have some of the same flaws according to a small "review" I found here.
Basically, the interface on the Accompli 008 sucked. It has got to be pretty easy to use or I'll simply not use it. I ended up only using it as a phone and it wasn't very hand in that regard. This smartphone sounds like it's become a bit better, but not that much. Today I have a SE P800 and I actually use its PDA features, mainly the calendar though.
All copy-protections can be hacked, but if (we) give people what they are asking for in terms of value, they won't go out and steal it. It's called trusting the consumer."
If the extra value won't make them go out and steal it, then why copy protect it?
Ok, piracy is not a good thing, but jail is just a tad extreme, don't you think?
The article doesn't contain much fact, but if the article is resonable correct, then I think it's alright if the people behind have to go to jail. No doubt they knew it was illigal.
I subscribe to Linux Weekly News and have done so since they started offering. Subscriptions saved them from closing. I'm not sure what the status is, but they aren't exactly earning loads of money, but so far they have survived which is very cool since (IMHO) it's the absolute best Linux news site.
Well, the P900 is available more or less now (or *very* soon and the P800 has been available for a long time). It'll be another 8 months before that thing is going to be available (if they make it - who knows if it will be delayed?). Basically, it's vaporware and who knows what Sony Ericsson and others have come up with then?
I actually think that's what they require (free, open standards and specifications), I believe most of the journalists that wrote those articles, have misunderstood the message. There is a pretty big difference between requiring open source and open standards.
Before you have to use the official clients or pay for a multi-protocol client (like Trillian Pro) to be able to use several networks. Or maybe Yahoo will themselves support other protocols for a certain price, they have already hinted at that.
Yet another reason to switch to an open network like Jabber!

Not that I want to defend Real, but AFAIK, the player supports many, if not all of the Xiph.org codecs, so...

I'm not a KDE developer, it just sounded like an obvious thing to do :)
"Also be sure to send in backtraces only if you have compiled with debug information."
Then maybe it should only be possible to send backtraces if it was compiled with debug information?
So, you would rather have them keep it all closed source?
Yearh, they're a very evil company because they make closed source software that uses a free, open document specification.
Open Source is not always the right solution.

Well, the beerware license as taken from Poul-Henning Kamp's website is nice and short:

I guess you haven't checked out magnatune.com ;)
AAC might be an industry standard, but it is far from free. Oh the join of software patents :(
In this Danish article, Microsoft confirms that the GPL isn't compatible with their license. I sincerely doubt this is a coincidence.

The XML and open standards based alternative works fine here :) Including the MSN gateway.
Magnatune.com got it right - they offer all thier music in various formats, including both FLAC and Ogg!
I know the biggest Danish ISP (TDC) blocked it pretty quickly. TDC have >80% of all DSL connections in DK.
