Do you have a good source for this? Preferably from a lawyer? My reading of the GPL is that this is not allowable. NVidia (and others) get around this by having a small open source driver that talks to both the kernel and their closed source driver, meaning that there is no direct interface between them. Even this is legally dubious, although I doubt they'll have any problems, because they don't distribute a binary version of the closed source section.
Actually, the word from linus is closed source drivers are perfectly acceptable, the reason nvidia has the open source glue is so that they dont have to distribute 5000 binary drivers for each and every version of the kernel, they simply redistribute the open source glue to translate the current api to their binary driver's api
According to my provider, itc^Deltacom, a recent fcc regulation makes it so not just anyone can set the cid information, they wouldnt let us change all 6 lines to say the same number (the main line) despite the fact we had just purchased a T1 from them for the phone lines...
Actually the TinyCC site lists a speedchart at http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/#speed measurements are done on a 500 MHz K6. That should give you a better idea than just estimating based on Turbo C 2.0
So if i understand this right, this means they may continue selling their cartridges during the court case, which means it wont be so easy for lexmark to just keep them in court untill they run out of money.
When temperatures are colder im concerned with warming up, not with working. I think the idea behind this article is you work better in a more comfortable office, not that the more you crank up the heat the more you work.
Yes but too many false positives will cause you to ignore it or find a way to disable it entirely.
As long as the manufacturer doesnt get blaimed for accidents it will look good on them and as such won't be a problem with them if it is disabled entirely.
Thats the one, we are long overdue... I wonder if copyright battles and the like will become our new revolutions? It would certainly be less bloody and thus a goal more attainable every 20 years.
I wonder how this determines what is a danger and whats not, does it detect any sudden change in the road such that a pothole or cones on the side would set it off or is it more specific in that only if you go off the road it works?
I would imiagine it would be a false positive. Which is much better than a false negative, false postive makes you a little annoyed for a short while. False negative sends you out of controll into a ditch, your decision.
What president was it that said a civil war is necessary every so often in order to keep the government in check?
Perhaps we've moved beyond needing political distruption to keep the government in check to needing consumer disruption to keep the corperations in check.
You've got to realize, most people from the USA at this point don't care about piracy, from my girlfriend and her mother to my sisters ex boyfriend in Iraq, they all dont care about piracy. So saying allofmp3.com is illegal has little effect on them.
However I do agree with your point of view that they should be motivated to push for reform. I just wish there was an easy way to motivate them.
Intel really should use PentiumM for desktop already and bail on Itanium line of CPU's.
Actually I believe Intel already has this planned, from what I understand however is they are dropping the low power consumption and ramping up the clock. Should make for an interesting desktop procescor.
On another note, I love my Pentium M 1.4ghz even at 251 mhz (its lowest speedstep) it runs my mmorpgs smooth as silk.
I thought DIVX was more of an extension to the DVD format such that the dvd drives themselves were the same but different firmware/software, whereas blu-ray and HD-DVD are completely different formats in no way compatible.
The article makes it seem like its an issue with the fans, it also appears that the patch will be submitted to linus within a few days so i would expect it in 2.6.10.
It may be legal in Russia. I don't know anything about Russian copyright law, and I don't care.
I think the point was that it is in fact legal in Russia where the price of CD's is too great for most familys to pay. Remember this is an article about Russia, not the US.
Almost any rural area is like this, when I went to mexico they gawked at us for throwing away the cores of pineapples. The world outside of America is a very different place.
Except for one problem gmail is still by invitation only, sure they may be passing invitations out like crazy but untill they are open to joe schmoe to just goto www.gmail.com and sign up... gmail wont have a big enough impact.
you still need a cd key to install the game to use bnetd, its just that you can use a generated cd key, actually on battle.net the real one you could use generated keys for a while.

Nevermind they JUST made a post on the site detailing it.

there is no notice of the security flaw... anyone know anything about this?

If this is true then why is it that by default the site is in Russian?Almost any rural area is like this, when I went to mexico they gawked at us for throwing away the cores of pineapples. The world outside of America is a very different place.

How long till sony nintendo and microsoft collectively call upon the DMCA? (and hopefully get the DMCA struck down in the process)
