For some reason on my Linux From Scratch machine, Galeon's configure process screwed up the src/Makefile. I ended up getting hundreds of undefined references when trying to link galeon-bin. I had to add "-lgnomevfs -lgdk_pixbuf -lxml -lglade -lgnome -ldb -lesd -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -lglade-gnome" to GALEON_DEPENDENCY_LIBS in order to fix it.
If you try to cut and paste from the mailing list archives, you'll probably have spaces instead of tabs in the patch, causing patch to choke on it. I've put a tabbed patch up here.
Why wait that long? Do-it-yourself'ers can checkout the release from CVS right now. The release is monday because that gives the distros time to make RPMs. The KDE 2.2.2 release has been in CVS since Tuesday. Just do a cvs co -r KDE_2_2_2_RELEASE and compile. (Note: when I checked it out, I had to get the kde-common module and copy the admin directory to each module before running make -f Makefile.cvs)
I'll be damned if I can find anything at ATTO's website, but they used to make the SiliconDisk II, essentially a SCSI hard drive made completely of DRAM (yes, it has power outage protection).
One thing comes to mind that'll make my life a lot easier. GTK has separate cut-n-paste for the mouse buttons and the keyboard. IOW, Ctrl-V will only paste what you copied with Ctrl-C and the middle mouse button will only paste what you highlighted with the mouse. QT 3 will have this. In QT 2.3, they're not separated.
Actually, it was S3 that VIA bought. S3 and Intel had a 10-year cross-licensing agreement, and according to VIA, that's what's gives them the Pentium 4 bus license.
VIA's dealings with NatSemi were the above-mentioned buyout of Cyrix IP, plus VIA contracted NatSemi to do manufacturing of their Pentium 3 chipsets after Intel revoked VIA's P6 bus license.
KDESupport is actually just a couple of packages (audiofile and libxml2) that the KDE team didn't develop, but are still neccessary to run KDE2.
Re:Been running it for a week now, great release.

KDE 2.2 Released
·
· Score: 2
KDE3 will be almost a direct port of KDE2 to QT3. In the process they're going to clean up the problems in their APIs that they've uncovered since releasing KDE2, thus breaking compatibility with most KDE2 apps.
I'm on Win2K Pro right now, freshly installed last night. IIS is not running, because it isn't installed by default. You have to go to Add/Remove Programs and install it yourself. So how the heck do the Win2K Pro boxen that people run somehow spontaneously install IIS on them without their knowledge? IIS is installed by default on the server varieties of Win2K, but these people shouldn't be running those. So I wonder, what's going on?
Q1: Whenever someone gets caught and arrested for distributing copyrighted material, tell me, what is the charge against that person?
Answer: "Copyright Infringement".
Q2: Why isn't the charge "Theft"?
Answer: Because Theft involves deprivation of assets - something that doesn't happen when a work is copied. And no, potential sales - though they do have potential value - are not assets.
Software yes, Hardware no. At least that's what I get from this paragraph:
"The key message is that PCI software and device drivers do not have to change to be supported in the base level of Arapahoe," Tipley said. "As far as the actual link level, how electrons get across the wires, that's quite different, and obviously won't be the same PCI pins. It will be very similar to what a link would look like for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or InfiniBand, that kind of signaling."
In the first/. story about the Sklyarov situation, someone posted this link to an article by an Ottawa law professor. Here's a juicy exerpt:
The Canadian proposal acknowledges the need for protection against acts of circumvention, but suggests that the U.S. approach goes too far. It notes that prohibiting the mere distribution of circumvention devices is often unworkable, blocking legitimate activities and altering the copyright balance. It also points out that technical-measures legislation may create the need for a new positive obligation on copyright holders to provide consumers with access to their work under certain circumstances, so that encryption can't be used, for example, to thwart copyright exceptions such as "fair dealing" that users rely upon to make copies of small portions of a work.
So while it is important we get our comments in, it looks like the government already sees the real problems with the DMCA. So let's fire up our word processors and clinch the deal, shall we?
Copying of a physical item takes a considerable effort; copying of a collection of 1s and 0s is laughably trivial. If you can transport an ebook from one computer to another (i.e. from your desktop to your PDA), then it's going to be just as easy to copy it for all of your friends.
How can an ebook system allow for a person to read it on all of their devices yet prevent copying? It can't automatically differentiate between another computer of yours and someone else's computer, so any system that allows for use on all of one's devices would be intrusive and cumbersome (i.e. register it to every device you have ahead of time, but then what if you replace your PDA? How do you re-register it?).
Really, there seems to be absolutely no middle ground between content control and fair use, which I believe is why Kelsey and Schneier came up with the Street Performer Protocol.
Yes, but they're not used in the cases I mention. Like I said, newer Macs and PCs with USB speakers use Digital Audio Extraction to play CDs, which is exactly what this copy prevention system is supposed to stop. I'm not sure about the Macs, but a PC with USB speakers doesn't have anywhere to plug the other end of that CD-Digital cable to because there's no sound card.

But what does that do? After adding that to .xmodmap, what does one do to create a euro symbol? The xmodmap man page doesn't explain it.
Testing the euro symbol found in KCharselect (Table 32)...

The mailing list converted tabs into spaces, causing patch to choke. Get the patch here.

It uses a stripped-down version of the Win2k kernel optimized for a console (i.e. everything runs in ring 0 at the kernel level, etc).

None are officially available, but an alpha firmware for the IOmega hipzip exists that only plays Vorbis Beta4 or earlier files.

To answer the question, I may not be a developer, but I have heard good things about KDevelop.
Actually, the libraries are BSD-licensed so companies will be more likely to adopt it.

Right here.
Also (to my knowledge), *nix OSes restrict raw socket use to root. Guess what - XP Home edition has no such concept. Everyone is effectively root.
Quicktime? Ack. Here's an MPEG link for everyone.
