REALNETWORKS, INC. END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REALNETWORKS PRODUCTS REDISTRIBUTION NOT PERMITTED Software License for RealOne Player
AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES.
a) The Software consists of interactive Internet applications that perform a variety of communications over the Internet as part of their normal operation. A number of communications features are automatic and are enabled by default!!! By installing and/or using the Software, you consent to the Software's communications features. Once you log into the Software, user information including your user id will be sent in communications with RN's servers. This information is used to access your regular account, premium content, non-premium content, services, features, and other personalized services. RN may match the user id to personally identifiable information in order to provide you with products, services, and software that you're entitled to and to provide you with relevant information. You are responsible for any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incurred through use of the Software!!!
b) Cookies: The Software also allows the use of cookies....
c) AutoUpdate: The RealOne Player, using AutoUpdate, automatically communicates with RN's servers on the Internet to check for updates to RN's and RN partner's software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and new versions. AutoUpdate also has the capability to run independently of RealOne Player to perform background update checks. RN may download updates during the background checks, when RealOne Player automatically communicates with RN's servers, when you manually check for updates, or when RealOne Player detects a file it does not support. AutoUpdate sends information about installed RealNetworks' products and components to the servers to determine upgrade availability. If you prefer to be notified when an auto-update is performed, follow these steps: On the Tools menu, select Preferences, AutoUpdate, and then de-select "Automatically download and install software updates." However, as we describe above, certain updates to RealOne Player functionality will happen automatically and without advance notification!
d) Message Center: The RealOne Player software, using Message Center, automatically communicates with RN's servers to check for new important messages, including software updates and service bulletins. Message Center can also run independently of RealOne Player to perform background new message checks. Message Center sends information about installed RealNetworks' products and components to the servers to allow receipt of suitable product update and other messages. Message Center is set by default to show message headlines and to check for messages once or twice a week. You can change the way messages are displayed and the frequency messages are checked by following these steps... If you sign up for services that send messages more often than the frequency you have selected, your frequency selection may be adjusted!
7. SCHEDULER. An application Scheduler, known as "evntsvc.exe," is installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player....
8. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ("DRMs"). a) The Software includes a DRM called the RealSystem Media Commerce Update Software ("Media Commerce Software") and may include third party DRMs as Plug-in components, which are subject to their own license agreements. DRMs are designed to manage and enforce intellectual property rights in digital content purchased over the Internet. You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or content usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or the Software. DRMs may be able to revoke your ability to use applicable content. RN is not responsible for the operation of the third party DRM in any way, including revocation of your content. RN is not responsible for any communications to or from any third party DRM provider, or for the collection or use of information by third party DRMs. You consent to the communications enabled and/or performed by the DRM, including automatic updating of the DRM without further notice, despite the provisions of AutoUpdate defined in Section 6(c). You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RN for any claim relating to your use of a third party DRM. b) Content providers are using the digital rights management technology contained in this Software to protect the integrity of their content("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Owners of such Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may, from time to time, request RN or its suppliers to provide security related updates to the DRM components of the Software ("Security Updates") that may affect your ability to copy, display and/or utilize the Software. You therefore agree that, if you elect to download a license from the Internet which enables your use of Secure Content, RN or its suppliers may, in conjunction with such license, also download onto your computer such Security Updates that a Secure Content Owner has requested that RN or its suppliers distribute. Unless notification is provided to you, RN and its suppliers will not retrieve any personally identifiable information, or other information, from your computer by downloading such Security Updates. c) The Media Commerce Software allows you to receive and playback content that has been digitally secured by a content provider. The Media Commerce Software interacts with your computer in the following ways: 1. Hardware information: In order to download the appropriate software, RealOne Player must send certain anonymous information about the hardware on your computer to the RealNetworks download server. Once the software is installed, information about your hardware will not be stored on any server. Hardware information will also be sent for content passes, as described below. 2. Content passes: When obtaining passes for playback of content (such as a music or video file) in RealOne Player, information about your specific Media Commerce Software installation and hardware will be sent to the content provider for inclusion in the pass. This installation and hardware information will be scrambled a different way each time it is sent, usable only for inclusion in your pass. 3. Personal information: Media Commerce Software will not associate itself with any personal information in RealOne Player or anywhere else on your computer. RealNetworks' use of any personal information is governed by the RealNetworks privacy policy (http://www.realnetworks.com/company/privacy/index.html). RealNetworks does not share with third parties any personal information you provide in connection with our products without first obtaining your informed consent. 4. Financial information: Media Commerce Software does not interact with the process of secure financial transactions, e.g. credit card transactions. These transactions are handled by the website providing the content and are governed by that party's privacy policy. 5. Usage information: RealNetworks may keep statistics on the aggregated anonymous use of the Media Commerce Software. However, content partners using the Media Commerce Software will not provide RealNetworks with information on specific content for which an individual user obtains passes.....
No, it's from "iso" meaning "the same" and "chronous" meaning "time". So packets are sent at the same time. That's how the network achieves low latency, by scheduling time slots for each node, as it were. Otherwise you get packet collisions and the like which adds latency.
OpenBIOS will be a free portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE 1275-1994 (Referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. Among it's features, Open Firmware provides an instruction set independent device interface. This can be used to boot the operating system from expansion cards without any native binary code. Thus it is OpenBIOS' goal to work on all common platforms, like x86, Alpha, x86-64 and IA-64. Additionally OpenBIOS targets the embedded systems sector, where a sane and unified firmware is a crucial design goal.
Open Firmware is found on many servers and workstations and there are several commercial implementations from SUN, Apple, IBM, CodeGen and others.
More information on OpenBIOS is available on the About OpenBIOS page
What a great announcement. It's really great to see all these great organizations coming to their senses. It really shows just how much unity and togetherness we share in the free software community. It really, truly is an excellent and remarkable time to be alive, and to be into the free software and open-source scene we all love. I'm sure the forefathers of free software, like ESR, Linus Torvalds, and Richard Stallman would have wished that they could have been alive and around today had they known about how awesome the scene just is this very day. I'm sure they would have given anything to witness these wonderful times. I, for one, am certainly looking forward to downloading a few of these incredible wares; they certainly look great based on my own research and the opinions of others, whom I really and truly respect, deeply. I hope that you, too, my friend, can scrounge up enough change, enough dough (times are tough), and purchase you and your best buddies some prime bandwidth to this going-to-be spectacular and amazing software servers. In fact, even if you don't have money, I really hope that you can borrow some, or just use someone else's net connection. Even if you plan on reselling the wares commercially, I am still happy just as long as someone buys your wares, as that would make that single person all the more happier to be using this wonderful and great software to be put on by these terriffic organizations. News like this just shows what a great time it really is for us all to be alive and well, and how these great organizations are breathing new life into and shattering our preconceptions about software in general. Hats of, my friends, and enjoy yourselves out there. Take care now, and whatever you don't don't miss out on this golden software opportuninty, this pot-of-gold at the end of the open-source rainbow, this 20 carat diamond hidden 20,000 leagues under the ocean of proprietary software, or you will regret it. Even in death, my friend, amigos, chumps, and buddies.
All (some of) you people sit here and moan and bitch about patent legislation, addendums to the copyright laws (like the DMCA), the FCC adding no-copy flags to TV broadcasts, and region coding. But when it comes to spam you all scream "Legislation!" "Put and end to spam!" "I can't take another spam e-mail!" "Spam isn't freedom of speech, it's abuse of network resources!" "I have to pay for this shit!" Many of you would be entirely happy to see spammers behind bars. Am I the only one who sees how hypocritical this bullshit is? Folks, there are technological solutions to this technological problem. Let's not sink down to the RIAA's level, please.
If you go to the manufacturer's website, the manufacturer who makes the component(s), you can find not only a maximum, but also a minimum temperature at which that component can operate at! For example, an AMD Athlon can usually operate up to 95 degrees celcius.
Bugzilla is checking the HTTP referrer field, and seeing that slashdot.org redirected you, it gave you that page. So what you wanna do is open up your prefs.js file, and add this line:
user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 0);
Pick 0 for no referres ever sent, 2 for always send, and 1 for images only.
I have had Apache for about 6 months now, and all I can say is that the
software is brilliant. I am genuinely stunned by how good this is.
And I am genuinely thankful to all the people who made this possible.
I know it is a little unfair to mention anyone by name but;
Richard Stallman; I think you are a genius.
Linus; many thanks for making your magnificent kernel available to us
all forever via the GPL. If I had ever written anything this good, I
would have been reluctant to part with it, but you gave it away. I
hope you are soon rich as well as famous.
ESR; what can I say, keep up the good work I guess. Try not to take
everything that is said too personally. Like all the others, I don't
agree with everything you say, but I think your contribution is
overwhelmingly positive. And I think you write well. This is
something not all good programmers can do, or want to do.
So far I have Apache running on 3 machines. I have the complete home
LAN going with IP masquerading and all that. I have never had a
crash, but to be honest sometimes I have screwed up my systems so
badly the best way to recover was just to reboot and start again.
Quicker than reading the manual if you know what I mean, just hit it
with a bigger hammer. I have a real talent for screwing up routing
tables.
I would guess that Apache has saved me at least USD$5,000-00, and maybe
USD$10,000-00. I base this estimate on the software savings (the
missing BLOATware), hardware savings and over priced upgrades to both
that I can now permanently avoid. My gateway/server box is a P75 for
instance, with an 8 gig drive. Intra-LAN pings take 0.5 milliseconds
on 100 meg PCI cards with a 10 meg hub. Me, I can wait 0.5
microseconds for a packet. Especially when it puts 10 grand in my
pocket.
There was an 'astroturfed?' thread here a while ago about everyone who
uses Apache having a ton of books and CD's lying around essentially as
papers weights with no useful system to show for it. In my case, I
have 4 distributions already, but I also have a very useful system. I
will try an explain... I have all these distributions because they are
so cheap, and because whenever I want some new component for the
system, like StarOffice 5.1 for instance, the download is too big and
if you buy it from StarDivision (here in Freemont) they want $39-00.
If you go to Fry's (the local electrical store) you can find a
complete distribution containing the single thing you want, plus
upgrades for all the others for $24-95. I am thinking of Caldera 2.2
here. So why not just take the whole thing? So invariably, I do.
In summary, it is difficult to believe that something this good could
be produced in such an unusual way. If I had not seen it with my own
eyes I would not have believed it.
My advice to anyone is just try it. You will save a small fortune,
learn a lot, have a lot of fun.
(SAN DIEGO, CA - July 22, 2002) - It's sleek, it's powerful, it has the capacity
to download 4,800 songs, or 400 CDs, at lightning-quick speed -- and it's PC and Mac
compatible. e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG) today announced its new Odyssey 1000TM digital jukebox and data storage device, its premier digital audio
player. Powered by e.Digital's MicroOS 2.0, the Odyssey 1000 combines the best of e.Digital's
digital audio technology into one stellar, feature-packed unit.
Jim Collier, President and COO of e.Digital said, "The Odyssey 1000 sets the standard by which
all other portable entertainment products will now be judged. It is the result of our first
joint project with our strategic development partner Digitalway. It combines an elegant, world
class industrial design from Digitalway's award-winning engineering team with e.Digital's
state-of-the-art, patented audio technology. There is nothing else available that matches its
elegant looks, full range of features, and cutting-edge Drag 'n RipTM technology."
The Odyssey 1000, which will be available to consumers this fall, boasts superb sound quality
and outstanding battery life, with a minimum of 13 hours of playback time. The feature-rich
Odyssey 1000 has a 20 Gigabyte hard drive for optimum MP3 and Windows MediaTM WMA playback and doubles as a data storage unit for movies, spreadsheets, e-

an entire CD to their player in about 5 seconds. And e.Digital's Drag 'n Rip technology enables
users to transfer music in one easy step simply by dragging tracks directly from a CD directory
onto their player's hard drive. Drag 'n Rip optionally enables users to create a mirror library
of music on their computer. The Odyssey 1000 also is compatible with Mac iTunes
TM.
Another outstanding feature is the Odyssey 1000's voice navigation capabilities. The Odyssey
1000 uses e.Digital's VoiceNavTM user interface based on
Lucent's speech recognition technology so users can navigate through their libraries of music
simply by the power of their own voice. It also has an easy-to-use scroll wheel for effortless
manual navigation. In addition, the Odyssey 1000 is a voice recorder that comes with a built-in
microphone for hours of voice recording on its massive hard drive.
Collier added that, "This is a product that will have broad appeal to both Mac and PC users. It
provides them with a full suite of features and advanced technology not currently available
from any other product on the market. It also will be subscription enabled and fully compatible
with our subscription content partners, soon to be announced. Its intuitive user interface and
ease of navigation will appeal to all age groups. Anyone who likes music and books will love
the Odyssey 1000."
Furthermore, the Odyssey 1000 comes with music preloaded by e.Digital's Broadband Entertainment
Business Unit so users can immediately start enjoying music on their player. The Odyssey 1000
also has an FM tuner with 12 available station presets and 16 MB DRAM buffering for robust
anti-skip protection and increased battery life.
The standard Odyssey 1000 package will include e.Digital Music ExplorerTM
2.0 software for PC (featuring Drag 'n Rip technology), carrying case with belt
clip, an installation CD and manual, stereo earphones, USB 2.0 cable with standard and mini
connectors, a universal DC adaptor/battery charger, and RCA audio cable for home stereo
connection.
The Odyssey 1000's Drag 'n Rip technology, voice navigation capabilities, and preloaded content
make it absolutely unparalleled among its peers. The much-anticipated Odyssey 1000 will be
available to consumers this fall.

Openoffice just released 1.0.1. But I guess that' just not as important as a minor PHP release. Don't moderate this by the way; there's nothing really interesting to say regarding this article. Here, I'll sum it all up: blah blah blah, PHP SUCKS/RULES, blah blah blah, this just shows how quickly open source response time is to security alerts, or how buggy open source is. PHP rules, look at all these websites that use it or PHP sucks, it's just like C, etc. There. Now read about OPENOFFICE BABY!

Hard drives too. It's always funny when you open up the old deteriorating 15,000 rpms/sec hard drive and hard drive platter gets embedding into your skull. That's always a good laugh at thanksgiving or christmas time.
Sorry if it came off wrong, but I meant it more as an encouragement to go look for cool stuff outside of what you hear on the radio and TV, and less as a condemnation of whatever it is you like now.
Don't sweat it. I'm just an arrogant jerk. And you are certainly right in that there is good music that you just won't hear on the radio or TV.

The first thing you're going to need is a Pressure-Sensitive, Multi-Point TouchScreen. Once you've got that, problem solved.
Mod this up. This is the embodiment of an intelligent thought.
No, it's from "iso" meaning "the same" and "chronous" meaning "time". So packets are sent at the same time. That's how the network achieves low latency, by scheduling time slots for each node, as it were. Otherwise you get packet collisions and the like which adds latency.
OpenBIOS might work on your board.
OpenBIOS will be a free portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE 1275-1994 (Referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. Among it's features, Open Firmware provides an instruction set independent device interface. This can be used to boot the operating system from expansion cards without any native binary code. Thus it is OpenBIOS' goal to work on all common platforms, like x86, Alpha, x86-64 and IA-64. Additionally OpenBIOS targets the embedded systems sector, where a sane and unified firmware is a crucial design goal. Open Firmware is found on many servers and workstations and there are several commercial implementations from SUN, Apple, IBM, CodeGen and others. More information on OpenBIOS is available on the About OpenBIOS page

What a great announcement. It's really great to see all these great organizations coming to their senses. It really shows just how much unity and togetherness we share in the free software community. It really, truly is an excellent and remarkable time to be alive, and to be into the free software and open-source scene we all love. I'm sure the forefathers of free software, like ESR, Linus Torvalds, and Richard Stallman would have wished that they could have been alive and around today had they known about how awesome the scene just is this very day. I'm sure they would have given anything to witness these wonderful times. I, for one, am certainly looking forward to downloading a few of these incredible wares; they certainly look great based on my own research and the opinions of others, whom I really and truly respect, deeply. I hope that you, too, my friend, can scrounge up enough change, enough dough (times are tough), and purchase you and your best buddies some prime bandwidth to this going-to-be spectacular and amazing software servers. In fact, even if you don't have money, I really hope that you can borrow some, or just use someone else's net connection. Even if you plan on reselling the wares commercially, I am still happy just as long as someone buys your wares, as that would make that single person all the more happier to be using this wonderful and great software to be put on by these terriffic organizations. News like this just shows what a great time it really is for us all to be alive and well, and how these great organizations are breathing new life into and shattering our preconceptions about software in general. Hats of, my friends, and enjoy yourselves out there. Take care now, and whatever you don't don't miss out on this golden software opportuninty, this pot-of-gold at the end of the open-source rainbow, this 20 carat diamond hidden 20,000 leagues under the ocean of proprietary software, or you will regret it. Even in death, my friend, amigos, chumps, and buddies.
All (some of) you people sit here and moan and bitch about patent legislation, addendums to the copyright laws (like the DMCA), the FCC adding no-copy flags to TV broadcasts, and region coding. But when it comes to spam you all scream "Legislation!" "Put and end to spam!" "I can't take another spam e-mail!" "Spam isn't freedom of speech, it's abuse of network resources!" "I have to pay for this shit!" Many of you would be entirely happy to see spammers behind bars. Am I the only one who sees how hypocritical this bullshit is? Folks, there are technological solutions to this technological problem. Let's not sink down to the RIAA's level, please.
If you go to the manufacturer's website, the manufacturer who makes the component(s), you can find not only a maximum, but also a minimum temperature at which that component can operate at! For example, an AMD Athlon can usually operate up to 95 degrees celcius.
Bugzilla is checking the HTTP referrer field, and seeing that slashdot.org redirected you, it gave you that page. So what you wanna do is open up your prefs.js file, and add this line:
user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 0);
Pick 0 for no referres ever sent, 2 for always send, and 1 for images only.
It's called the spirit of free software, dipshit.
I have had Apache for about 6 months now, and all I can say is that the software is brilliant. I am genuinely stunned by how good this is. And I am genuinely thankful to all the people who made this possible. I know it is a little unfair to mention anyone by name but;
Richard Stallman; I think you are a genius.
Linus; many thanks for making your magnificent kernel available to us all forever via the GPL. If I had ever written anything this good, I would have been reluctant to part with it, but you gave it away. I hope you are soon rich as well as famous.
ESR; what can I say, keep up the good work I guess. Try not to take everything that is said too personally. Like all the others, I don't agree with everything you say, but I think your contribution is overwhelmingly positive. And I think you write well. This is something not all good programmers can do, or want to do.
So far I have Apache running on 3 machines. I have the complete home LAN going with IP masquerading and all that. I have never had a crash, but to be honest sometimes I have screwed up my systems so badly the best way to recover was just to reboot and start again. Quicker than reading the manual if you know what I mean, just hit it with a bigger hammer. I have a real talent for screwing up routing tables.
I would guess that Apache has saved me at least USD$5,000-00, and maybe USD$10,000-00. I base this estimate on the software savings (the missing BLOATware), hardware savings and over priced upgrades to both that I can now permanently avoid. My gateway/server box is a P75 for instance, with an 8 gig drive. Intra-LAN pings take 0.5 milliseconds on 100 meg PCI cards with a 10 meg hub. Me, I can wait 0.5 microseconds for a packet. Especially when it puts 10 grand in my pocket.
There was an 'astroturfed?' thread here a while ago about everyone who uses Apache having a ton of books and CD's lying around essentially as papers weights with no useful system to show for it. In my case, I have 4 distributions already, but I also have a very useful system. I will try an explain... I have all these distributions because they are so cheap, and because whenever I want some new component for the system, like StarOffice 5.1 for instance, the download is too big and if you buy it from StarDivision (here in Freemont) they want $39-00. If you go to Fry's (the local electrical store) you can find a complete distribution containing the single thing you want, plus upgrades for all the others for $24-95. I am thinking of Caldera 2.2 here. So why not just take the whole thing? So invariably, I do.
In summary, it is difficult to believe that something this good could be produced in such an unusual way. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it.
My advice to anyone is just try it. You will save a small fortune, learn a lot, have a lot of fun.
Yeah, I agree. It's not like F-22s or anything really care what operating system they're running, so why should a portable music player?
(SAN DIEGO, CA - July 22, 2002) - It's sleek, it's powerful, it has the capacity to download 4,800 songs, or 400 CDs, at lightning-quick speed -- and it's PC and Mac compatible. e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG) today announced its new Odyssey 1000TM digital jukebox and data storage device, its premier digital audio player. Powered by e.Digital's MicroOS 2.0, the Odyssey 1000 combines the best of e.Digital's digital audio technology into one stellar, feature-packed unit.
Jim Collier, President and COO of e.Digital said, "The Odyssey 1000 sets the standard by which all other portable entertainment products will now be judged. It is the result of our first joint project with our strategic development partner Digitalway. It combines an elegant, world class industrial design from Digitalway's award-winning engineering team with e.Digital's state-of-the-art, patented audio technology. There is nothing else available that matches its elegant looks, full range of features, and cutting-edge Drag 'n RipTM technology."
The Odyssey 1000, which will be available to consumers this fall, boasts superb sound quality and outstanding battery life, with a minimum of 13 hours of playback time. The feature-rich Odyssey 1000 has a 20 Gigabyte hard drive for optimum MP3 and Windows MediaTM WMA playback and doubles as a data storage unit for movies, spreadsheets, e- books, and more. Its stainless steel, sleek industrial design only enhances the aesthetic appeal of this digital audio powerhouse, which is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse.
The Odyssey 1000's high-speed USB 2.0 connection and remarkable ease of use make downloading and transferring music a breeze. With the Odyssey 1000's USB 2.0 connection, users can transfer an entire CD to their player in about 5 seconds. And e.Digital's Drag 'n Rip technology enables users to transfer music in one easy step simply by dragging tracks directly from a CD directory onto their player's hard drive. Drag 'n Rip optionally enables users to create a mirror library of music on their computer. The Odyssey 1000 also is compatible with Mac iTunes TM.
Another outstanding feature is the Odyssey 1000's voice navigation capabilities. The Odyssey 1000 uses e.Digital's VoiceNavTM user interface based on Lucent's speech recognition technology so users can navigate through their libraries of music simply by the power of their own voice. It also has an easy-to-use scroll wheel for effortless manual navigation. In addition, the Odyssey 1000 is a voice recorder that comes with a built-in microphone for hours of voice recording on its massive hard drive.
Collier added that, "This is a product that will have broad appeal to both Mac and PC users. It provides them with a full suite of features and advanced technology not currently available from any other product on the market. It also will be subscription enabled and fully compatible with our subscription content partners, soon to be announced. Its intuitive user interface and ease of navigation will appeal to all age groups. Anyone who likes music and books will love the Odyssey 1000."
Furthermore, the Odyssey 1000 comes with music preloaded by e.Digital's Broadband Entertainment Business Unit so users can immediately start enjoying music on their player. The Odyssey 1000 also has an FM tuner with 12 available station presets and 16 MB DRAM buffering for robust anti-skip protection and increased battery life.
The standard Odyssey 1000 package will include e.Digital Music ExplorerTM 2.0 software for PC (featuring Drag 'n Rip technology), carrying case with belt clip, an installation CD and manual, stereo earphones, USB 2.0 cable with standard and mini connectors, a universal DC adaptor/battery charger, and RCA audio cable for home stereo connection.
The Odyssey 1000's Drag 'n Rip technology, voice navigation capabilities, and preloaded content make it absolutely unparalleled among its peers. The much-anticipated Odyssey 1000 will be available to consumers this fall.
The versatile Odyssey 1000 includes the following features:

Openoffice just released 1.0.1. But I guess that' just not as important as a minor PHP release. Don't moderate this by the way; there's nothing really interesting to say regarding this article. Here, I'll sum it all up: blah blah blah, PHP SUCKS/RULES, blah blah blah, this just shows how quickly open source response time is to security alerts, or how buggy open source is. PHP rules, look at all these websites that use it or PHP sucks, it's just like C, etc. There. Now read about OPENOFFICE BABY!
n dex.html.
/dev/dsp - for instance slide transitions in OpenImpress froze when they are accompanied with sound handled by the gnome sound daemon. This has been fixed now. (IZ 4353)

He makes a good point. Yet is moderated flamebait. It's like moderating "the sun can burn you" as flamebait. Sheesh
I would like to make a withdrawl, Mr. ATM.
How, exactly, would the prosecution (microsoft) prove any of this???
Thanks for the heads up. My mistake. :)
That's what happens when you use ADA. If it was in Scheme we'd have no problem.
Openoffice 1.0.1 was released a few days ago and it didn't make the headlines. However, development releases of Linux do. Strange, eh?
Good idea, except they'd probably break in portable players with skip protection, as those spin the discs faster than 1x.
Yes, because we all know every portable CD player is capable of spinning discs at 40x.
Hard drives too. It's always funny when you open up the old deteriorating 15,000 rpms/sec hard drive and hard drive platter gets embedding into your skull. That's always a good laugh at thanksgiving or christmas time.
