No, it's rather because I have one that I felt sorry for the thread's parent. If you consider it was funny then I think you'd better get a life because it was not.
Wrong. US is anti-Iraq : AFAIK, Iraq never invaded nor bombed US.
They code Linux stuff in Iraq.
GCC/GLibC-compliant would be a better assertion.
Ergo, Linux is anti-US.
This however is true: US = United Corporations (Microsoft, GM, Enron, Monsanto, etc.) Linux poses them a genuine threat as it counterbalance their marketing approach and very few besides Linux shall survive without changing business models.
I second you:) One of its great interests is that it is truely multiplatform. Once you begin using it for your shopping lists, you know you cannot live without:)
Giving it to ANYONE including me, is distribution and I will sue you for it.
what ? giving back something to you only is distribution ?= call your lawyer, he'll have a hell of a time:)
Some of us artists take this seriously. I'm sorry if you cannot respect an artists views on this. I respect artists views, otherwise I would not discuss this at all. I just think it stink and if it's YOUR RIGHT, I just feel like not acting like you when it comes to these matters.
This is also why the GNUArt concept is work-based, not artist-based : I don't protect artist, I protect what they want me to protect.
We all have a special definition of remixing, and mine doesn't especially imply the same thing as you. I happen to cumulate around 10 seconds of various sound sources from a song (I made) in order to remix it. So, not a large number but rather a few but significant would be enough.
Question : if you call me an ass, does this mean you are standing behind me ?;)
He's talking about remixing by using a large portion of someone else's creation. Large ? What the hell are insinuating about me and what I could do with your work ?
Please, let the adults discuss gently and got troll somewhere else.
I may not want my work to be remixed by anyone Why ? If the remix is bad, it won't be heard and nobody will associate you with it becaus ethey nkow what a remix is, if it's good, it'll be spread along with your name. In both case, you'll be paid.
If you are so sure I will approve for promotion of my own name or otherwise, then get permission. Yep, but if I want to get YOUR permission, I might have to send you a remix in order to give you an idea, if you don't consider being remixed without hearing anything, then you should work as a lawyer or as an accountant because you just lost track of the interest of artistical interactions.
Should I get a record deal with a remix base on your work, you'd be first informed and retributed. This'd also be good for your promotion, wouldn't it ?
Your point would be valid if we discussed something practical. Here we discuss something artistical and people really want to explore before beginning the eventual commercial agreement. This is also a reason I created GNUArt, to help people gather creations that otherwise would never have emerged and would have shamelessly been lost.
Exactly, DRM is not a catchall, this was my point... People think that DRM is catchall, they do not realise that there are many smilar schemes going on.
DVD Region locking is stupid, this is just making international trade laws redundant as if you didn't want a DVD to be sold in a country, you could just have its import banned. I cannot believe I had to buy Ed Wood's movie box in the USA because these are NOT available in Switzerland at all despite the movie's been around for.... decades. So, DVD Region Locking is supposed to prevent movie sales to occur while these are stilly played in movie theaters. Now, if this were true, then most "old" movies would have been released as Region-0.
And no, DRM is not moral. Short example: I am remixer. I want to rip an Audio CD in order to practise my skills. I can't. I want to make record to submit to my producer. I can't. Even though I'd have negociated the rights before entering commercialisation...
So, even if it is moral (for a Klingon's point of view) it is totally stupid because you cannot build equity if you base it upon suspicion.
Let's say we're in the days of the Caesar, the Gallic War. You need to send messages back and forth to your generals, and you'd prefer that the enemy doesn't get hold of them. You can rely on the idea that anyone who intercepts your message is probably illiterate, but that's a tough bet to stake your empire on. You can put your messages into the hands of reliable messengers who'll chew them up and swallow them if captured -- but that doesn't help you if Brad Pitt and his men in skirts skewer him with an arrow before he knows what's hit him.
Erm... Brad Pitt was supposed to be a Greek, not a Geek nor a Roman.:) Well written pamphlet, otherwise.
The problem with DRM is that it's got a name that people might consider making it the only right-management-related concept, now, DRM is not alone in its category and there'll be other to take care about, like DVD region locking, etc...
I am sure one could develop phones with a small light emitting device which'd display the vector games on a wall. The player would use wifi or bluetooth to communicate around and he would also use a minijoystick, similar to the one on Sony-Ericsson T68i to play.
If it doesn't seem very convenient for old timers like us, but when we were young we were not able to move our inches the same way young SMS-ers now do so I also guess it will not only be about ergonomics but also about adaptation.
Who wants to play PC-type games on a small, cell-phone screen anyways?
Who said this would be a PC-type game ?
Though I agree with your statement on the overal phone quality vs features, I still think that cell phone could become quite astonishing gaming devices provided some ingenious ergonome would simply take enough time to make them good at something. So, I'd be curious to see what it'd look like.
(And yes indeed, I am not a native speaker so I am not sure how you say "ingenious ergonome" in U[KS]glish)
You won't find a driver for that hardware, since it uses a special inteface and special software that is closed source. Yamaha has no interest in writing that software for Linux.
mLan is an Open initiative from Yamaha which is aimed at replacing MIDI by allowing Audio and MIDI data isosynchronous transfer over a Firewire link.
BTW, I just wonder whether the movie quality will decrease as it is being played ? If I watch, say, Laggan, a 4-hour Bollywood movie, will the picture still look okay while I reach the last hour ?
I know it is digital but I want to get an idea of the decay in itself.
One word : driver. Explain me how I could get a driver for this under Linux while I already have one under OSX (there's also one for Windows). The more we'll go, the more we'll see that Linux is not Windows challenger as much as OSX is the challenger of the Linux+Windows pair.

How do you bomb software ?
I second you :) :)

A good European observatory is Jobserve where I have been able to consider the falling then re-growing number of job offer during the last 3 years.
OK, it's all about this "intellectual property" concept, then.
If you don't want to share, never let people know you actually create something.

OK, I just cheecked in a dictionary, the word we are both looking for is "ergonomist", and
Do you remember the Vectrex ?

I actually did not read the original works, but I think the movies were good enough to beviewed again.
Yes, and yes : I mean, I liked these.
I hope this will be a good movie because we still have to forget he even did Matrix 2 and 3...

mLan is an Open initiative from Yamaha which is aimed at replacing MIDI by allowing Audio and MIDI data isosynchronous transfer over a Firewire link.
There are many schemes available but the whole thing is widely open to allow coders to bring mLan to their environment.
It only costs if you want to develop HW mLan devices.
You could still use these to store secret data.
BTW, I just wonder whether the movie quality will decrease as it is being played ?
