I've been playing with one today, you have to use the windows only software to grab images from it, but the hardware seems nice. Personally i'd rather have a camera with a web server built in but those are somewhat more expensive
Fantastic ! You'd have to tag each of the garbage bags with the address of the original owner so that undelete works, but it'd sure make "Private Investigation" a lot easier.
Bart: You're probably wondering about the coat hangers. They're to
block the satellite that's been spying on me. Marge: [with trepidation] Okay... Bart: It can read your electric organizer from space. Homer: Even mine? [Bart takes it and smashes it] Hey, I had
Lenny's name on that! Bart: They have it now. Lisa: Who are they, exactly? Bart: Who else? Major League Baseball.
from the bbc article: "Our calculations show that van der Waals forces could explain the adhesion, though we can't rule out water adsorption or some other types of water interaction."
From Yahoo: Both chips allow van der Waals forces to work, but a silicon-based chip also allows the capillary action of water to work while a gallium arsenide chip prevents any effect by water.
The synthetic hairs stuck to both chips, just like real gecko feet, Autumn said.
These new shaders are designed for people WITH curtains, so they can have the same nifty sun glare effects that you have, but without exposing their naked selves to the neighbours.

True, but only version 3 is GPL and its not available yet..
You'd be suprised at what a group of amateurs can make. It just takes practice.
I expect that anything you can draw on paper with a pencil, a straight edge and a pair of compasses, you can reproduce in a field with a piece of string and a stalk-stomper.
I dont think you can make a "perfect" crop circle unless the crops are perfectly evenly distributed.
You should read the howto anyway, it's rather amusing.
That's not entirely correct. You can deny "anyone" access to the source code. Only those who have received the software (in binary or source form) are entitled to the source code.
You can sell binaries with source on cd under the gpl and refuse to give the source or binaries to anyone else.
Of course those who have it are entitled to redistrubute but they bear the responsibility of source distribution, not you. They cant put that burden on you if you have already made the source available to those that you distributed to.
Yes, this is a good point. But you failed to mention the KDE libraries which are mainly GPLed.
Doesn't this mean that any application that links with KDE be GPLed too ? Didn't TheKompany by targetting KDE as their platform force the GPL licence upon themselves ?
It basically says that you can charge one price for the binary and up to the same price again for the source. This is not ideal, nor what I would expect, but its there in the FSF's own faq.
The LGPL, by the way, was originally called the "Library GPL" and was recommended by the FSF for libraries. Then, one day, the name was changed to the "Lesser GPL." Overnight, in Orwellian fashion, all references to the original name were expunged from the FSF's Web site as if the original name had never existed.
It's important to know the truth about this story, which Brett Glass has recently begun to propagate to cover up the true origins of the LGPL.

I can't reach.
Perhaps they should try this tactic ?
How about the eCamIt its about $169 ?

So it's not entirely old news
Have a look at libicq2000 from the ickle project.
You might like it.
I think you have that the wrong way around.

True, but only version 3 is GPL and its not available yet..
and here is a page full of Langlands' work.
This page looks particularly relevant.
Nothing more to do
but write a little haiku
that should do the trick
Thank you.
That had me confused too.
Here's a list of Wouter's other languages.
We'll probably find out that Cube is written in False or PIG. Thats probably the reason its not open source..

I liked FoTR. You can replace that with "The Mummy".
Just move to the UK or US then. The Tivo is that good that you wont regret it :-)

Here is the faq entry worth reading.

I hope V3 addresses this.
An interesting question is what about the Cobalt MIPS-based appliances? Don't they run Linux as the x86 ones do? So where's the source code for those?
Funny you should say that. I have a qube2 so I'm gonna try this soon:
