The BBC does offer catch up clips &| highlights of some shows, plus all the radio channels are streamed, and most/all (don't know, only really use BBC7) have a Listen Again service.
The source for the Applet in question just writes a file, and runtime.exec's it.
You could write spyware for multiply platforms using Java, however you would have to: a) Be fairly good at Java & XP programing b) Relay (just as in this article) on Stupid Users clicking "Yes" to anything they see.
If thats the case, then JWS, and a java-based "Free Porn Downloader" would be able to target every Java based OS. As would a C++&QT (or other XP toolkit) and some time with a cross compiler.
Unsigned applets are (mostly) fine, they are sandboxed. This was a signed Applet. Now, I think the Java signed applet/wenstart box need a rethink (and have for some time), and having the "yes" button disabled for 3 seconds, and more details on what the Applet wants to do (with Runtime.exec and write permission outside the user.home being silenty rejected).
If you look at the screen shot, you have a large "ActiveX Blocked" sign over the top (not Java). I'm guessing they have some browser sniffing stuff, send an ActiveX to MSIE (which for MOST users will just install, no questions asked), and Java to everything else (will only install if some stupid user clicks "Yes").
Now, Java's "signed jar" warning window does suck, a lot, but this is NOT a "Hahaha, java/FF is da zvc|3rs" shit that people are making out. At lest you are asked, rather than relaying on ActiveX to be disabled.
I've always wondered what is an acceptable fee. I've got a small OSS project. I don't offer a.zip/.tgz of the source, and anyone who asks for the source is pointed at the CVS. Every now and again you get someone who compains stating that my software is GPL'ed, and thus I must offer a.zip of the source. A quick explanention of what a CVS is, and a "please point me at the section of the GPL" shuts them up. But if I was feeling mean, what could I charge for a CD? I'm guessing it'll take me about two hours to head down ASDA and pick up a pack of CDs, and a CD writer (don't currently own). So £1 for the CD (a nice one, in a case), and £20 for the CD Writer. Divide the CD Writer between the expected number of sales (one). This will all be done in my free time, my overtime rate is ~£30 an hour. To go to ASDA & back takes 1hr, again divide by the number of expected sales (one), and it'll take ~1 hour to burn, pack and post. So thats £81, plus P&P. Is that acceptable? Guess we'll never know.
But it is also not OK for PearPC to write software to explicitly violate Apples EULA.
PearPC does nothing of the sort, PearPC *might* infrenge on IBM/Moto & Apples IP (namely the rights to create a PPC based proccessor), but PearPC does not violate Apples EULA. End-users *might*, but then again, they might use it for checking that Open SOurce Software X runs fine on LinuxPPC.
TV wise, it is not for watching the BBC, but for owning the TV. I've not RTFA, so cant comment on the current PC-lience stuff. I should, and then make use of the faxyourmp site.
Or a custom interface. Also I've played the Windows GUI verion using just the mouse once. But it was wrong. tty is the One True Way. Useless o/c you can't use the tty version.
/. is a very large group of people, we have all sorts here, even vi fans are welcomed.;) Yes, some people want rid of all IP laws, and as such are very vocal during anti-IP threads, but less so when IP does something good. Others (probably the majority) just want the badly thought out IP laws gone, and as such are vocal in IP threads, and pro IP other threads.
> but when it comes to Linux [...]want to abolish IP laws
I'm sure I've read interviews where Linus defend (parts of) the IP laws. "We" even use IP laws, else the GPL would not work.

alas I don't think we'll be getting CSI & other US shows, just the made-for-Five stuff. Alas that is normally fairly poor.

I'm guesssing if the RIAA win, they will not be "pissing money away" as KaZaA will foot the bill.

Sorry, I own the patent on ass sueing.
And arse, bottom, but and shithole.
Imagine the chaos that would ensues if government agency's actually communicated

That looks cool. I'll have to dig out a Amiga emu.
Speech-to-text.
It prob. will not be too bad, for some levels.

It plays very well on the xbox, but you don't need to joystick co-op.
I quite like StarCraft for that. "Give me back my unit dammit!"

As to the OP, igda: Game Accessibility Special Interest Group. Might you be able to play audio games?

It was a young trap in Plato day.
Play the beta, was hooked. But could not justify the monthly.
I'ved tried, but they rejected it :(
o/c it is more. You have all of the Linux bugs, and all the Windows bugs.
SVG support is not yet complete, personally I think it would be best to wait for it to be ready, than release a half-implemention.
MNG, does anyone use it?
This is posted every time a FF story comes up.
