they aren't setting up the fund for themselves, it's a separate community driven fund - they've just founded it, and got it off of the ground with $1m.

napster's rise was stunning, as was it's fall - but it's left behined something that the riaa/mpaa CAN'T take away, and that is the concept of p2p sharing of media on the internet. pre-napster internet use and post-napster internet use are two completely different things for numerous age-groups now...
there's always mono. i haven't read much on the site, but if they make an api available, then someone could make a nix port.

KDE 3.1 Released

heh, I hope *every* project that wants to make use of the fonts will package them (there are 10 fonts, and dozens of projects that could use them).
The only project that needs to carry them is X, of which a new release (4.3) is out any day now. If they don't come with that, then I expect the next point release to have them.
The vnc desktop sharing idea is a pretty cool one (using it for support is an XP idea, i believe), and is something Gnome could do with. I think it'd be a good project for Red Hat to get involved with. So, if you purchase a high level of support from them, and you *really* can't solve a problem you're getting, you can call tech support and they could remotely do it for you in front of your eyes. Theres money to be made there I think.
As for KDE, well it's got a load of new features etc....but it's....still....ugly. Sorry.
The Xine project is doing a lot of work in terms of becoming a multimedia framework, however you need to check out the Gstreamer project. It has support for a lot of video formats, and can be used with a command line or gui. Gnome 2.2 will start to use this(released on Jan. 29th), for it's audio, and video needs.
Like Gnome in general, you can code Gstreamer based programs in different languages, including GTK# and even though it was origionally intended for the Gnome desktop, the main libraries aren't gui-lib specific, so you can write KDE based programs with it too(yes, there's an Arts interface in there)

1. Screensavers broken -screensavers work fine on the installs i've done. drivers? rh problem? i doubt it.
2. Home pages in Konq no longer work; it comes up as a file manager automatically homepages in ~/public_html? if so, not a rh/kde issue.
3. The panel is gibbled; you can't remove blank areas probably an applet issue. try with a new panel.
btw, you didn't give me any *features* that were *removed* from kde(which would prove kde was crippled). some bugs are always going to creep in, there isn't a distro in the land which is bug free.

If the KDE supplied with Redhat 8.0 is crippled, would you like to tell me which *features* were removed?
A menu entry which pop's up a message box 'About KDE' is not a feature, btw.
i thought that was the whole point of oss? people can play with the source, if they're interested. it's not like there's not enough documentation for them to get ir right.
we've had this in the uk since last year (i think). it's really good for nerdy types:) one of the shows dumped the scientists in spain (they didn't know that), and they had to pinpoint out their location, iirc. some other tasks have been to make ice(withough electrics, refrigerator etc), take a photo(using only natural substances etc.
yeah, your DivX;) pr0n will be much better with XF4. but you'll get even better performance if your drivers support Xv. search google for xvideo + yourvideocardhere.
TW, a show here in the UK, had these on the other day. Quite cool, imo. They had a stunt man try them out, and he managed to climb 20 metres wearing them. Apparantly they're really heavy though - so i'd put the spider-man suit back in the closet, taco:)
Granted Athlon has had two previous cores but whatever happened to the third one? Unless they go in powers of two (1,2, 4.. Athlon 8 = Sledgehammer? After all it would be K8..) The article states the following: "Technically speaking, the Palomino core does mark the fourth AMD Athlon core since the release of the original K7 core in 1999. If we begin counting at the K7 core there was the 0.18-micron Athlon which was based on the K75 core, then the 0.18-micron Thunderbird with on-die L2 cache and the fourth Athlon core would be the 0.18-micron Palomino core." So there's the origional core(1),.18 micron core(2), the T'bird(3), and now the Palomino(4).
Are we heading the same way as we did with open source email clients? Search on freshmeat and you can take your pick of a couple of hundred crap(*) mail clients, and maybe 2 or 3 good ones. And it seems we don't go a week without yet another open source media player (streaming or otherwise). Wouldn't it be more effective if all these projects were to merge and have a large number of developers working together? More work would get done, more features would be added, and we might even end up rivaling wma, et al.

You can check out some of Ximian's work, here.

Well, GoBE don't actually *own* all of the code...so they have no rights to release it - until they buy it.
surely the isp reserved the right to suspend an account that wasn't paid up. if so, there's no case ...

the kde one is just a frontend to the current configuration tools.
