I'm pretty sure that R.E.M. owns the copyright to all their songs. Unfortunately, I don't have the entire catalog with me, but on the latest album, they have "Warner Bros. Records Inc., a Time Warner Company. (C)(P) 1998 R.E.M./Athens, L.L.C. " No copyright by the record company, copyright is by the author. I'm pretty sure the rest of the albums are the same way.
However, this is the only example I can come up with.
Here's my setup. I have a "Y" off the out on my computer, so I can hook it up to both my computer speakers and my amp. My VCR is also hooked up to the amp, and when the amp is off, and the VCR is on, I can hear the VCR through the computer speakers.
Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure it's related to the "Y" cable, except I can't think of another way of cheaply doing what I'm doing.

Re:Mozilla... Is it even worth the download?

I've tried using IE 4.0 and 5.0 under Solaris. I can't remember exactly, but I think IE 4.0 did a font scan each time it booted up. I do remember that it took five minutes to start up. Not very pleasent.
I think it was supposed to do the scan only when something changed. Since I used it so infrequently, I wouldn't be surpised if whatever it looked for changed by the time I used it again.
IE 5.0: I don't think I could get past the first install screen. It probably required patches that the system didn't have. I don't have root access, so I didn't spend much time bothering with it.
I'm not too optimistic about IE for linux. I am much more optimistic about Mozilla.
Now that slashdot is counting how many times people visit this site, shouldn't it have a privacy policy stating what information is gathered, and what it is used for?
Actually, Notre Dame has set up an special agreement with Microsoft for the distribution of MS software. The pricing is $10 (US dollars) per CD per year. So, Win 98, upgrade or full, is $10. Win NT is $10, as with MS Office 97 Pro. Visiual Studio w/ MSDN library is $50. Not a bad deal, except it's a yearly contract.
Unfortunately, the next shipment is supposedly time-bombed, to enforce the yearly contract.
I use AIM & ICQ when I want to talk to certain people; these programs show when these people are online. These systems have a user authentication system so someone can't take someone else's nick like on most servers on IRC (servers like slashnet are an exception).
I use IRC when I have a quick question about something, and I can't find it in the manual. Then I'm really not interested in who I'm talking too, as long as I get an answer. Then I usually stick around to return the favor to someone else and answer their question.
I have though about doing something like an Instant Messanger system over IRC. Here's how it would work: the user client would send out a request to the client of each buddy, the buddy clients would sign it, using public key encryption, indicating that they are who they are. This would use DCC to the primary nick. If this is unsuccessful (like someone else happens to be using the same nick instead of the intended buddy), the backup would be communication via a certain channel. The main client would indicate that it has a certain buddy key, and the buddy client would respond returning the request and signature. Thus, the buddy client could change nicks (like the case when someone else is using that nick), but keep the public key, and people can still get a hold of the buddy.
I have two main problems with this: 1) I live in the US, and thus I wouldn't be able to do the public signature part. 2) This would create a lot of traffic on the designated backup channel, I don't think that the server ops would appreciate this.

This version has support for real time scheduling, like 0.7. In order to use it for all users, the binary must be set setuid.
.xmms and .xmms/Skins owned by root.
Before it switches the effective uid to the real id in main.c, read_config is called. This makes the directory
I'm not sure if this can be a security problem, but it's at least a bug. The configuration file can't be written to, then.
I'll send a message to the developers...

I also have an audio problem.
Here's my setup. I have a "Y" off the out on my computer, so I can hook it up to both my computer speakers and my amp. My VCR is also hooked up to the amp, and when the amp is off, and the VCR is on, I can hear the VCR through the computer speakers.
