This is a pretty sly way to enforce a licencing agreement. Maybe this is an equally sly workaround. The key is that the user is only required to agree to the agreement if they read the agreement when they run the program under windows. If someone could hack up a perl program to extract the pdf, we wouldn't be prompted to, or required to agree to the licence (Unless the agreement was also inside of the document:( ). If this could be hacked together, the spec could then be used by the samba team. There is no reference to any agreement on thier web page, and I downloaded the bits without agreeing to anything. Now if I could only extract the document without agreeing to any agreement. What do you think?
The video quality on my tivo is great. it's all mpeg streams so it has the same down fall. ie when the wind is blowing through a group of trees, everything gets all blocky and jerky. But for 90% of the scenes, you have to pay attention to see the difference. I'm not an video/audiophile, so you may be more critical of the quality than I am, but if you don't like the lowest quality, It has 3 higher settings.
When I think of a game like go or chess, I think that each player develops there own algorithm to beat their opponent. If you agree, what relationships or similarities do you see between your intrest in Go and your intrest in compression?

I don't know where you get your crack, but Mach OS does nothing of the sort.
