It is not over, it is a new start. The pre GitHub sites like Google code are closing down. But post GitHub sites are alive and growing. At GitLab we see increasing adoption and a fast growing GitLab.com. People want free private repo's, more features and hosting based on open source software.
At New York's JFK airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school math teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule and a calculator.
Attorney general John Ashcroft believes the man is a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying Weapons of Math Instruction (WMI).
"al-Gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed", Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute values. They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like, "x", "y" and "z", and, although they are frequently referred to as "unknowns", we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country." "As the great Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every angle'" he added.
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "Make no mistake, if God had wanted US to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
A member of the Presidential group, who spoke without attribution said, "I'm extremely grateful that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are so willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. These statistic bastards love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence. Under the circumferences, it's time we differentiated their root, made our point, and drew the line."
President Bush said, "these weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."
Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, 'Read My Ellipse'. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of---though they continue to multiply --- their days are numbered and the hypotenuse will tighten around their necks."
For a lot less then then $199, to be exact $35,- you can pick up an Irman remote control sensor. It will recieve any infrared code and works with LIRC, an open source linux package.

There is a cheaper solution

You can also use your own or an old pc with an Irman and a remote you probably already have. You won't have a fancy display, but it will cost only $35. And seperate displays are available for under $100.
The only advantage I can see for this product is that you can control your mp3's from another room.
There are many other options for that, including the Irman infrared receiver to control your PC with a normal remote. And with $29 it's a lot cheaper too.
>Avoid the 'no bills' pre-paid GSM cards you will see all over europe. None of them currently offer international roaming, so when you move on you'll be screwed.
Since a month or two we got international roaming on dutch prepaid phones, guess also in other countries. I have a Libertel prepaid phone with "IZI Extra". I pay fl 10,- ($5,-) a month for roaming in 80 countries. Rates are quite good but must be billed to a dutch citizen.
And those 3 things would be: 1) mirror the files http://home.student.utwente.nl/s.r.sijbrandij/fr ee_dvd.html 2) join the EFF ($20,- for students) http://www.eff.org 3) call the MPAA at 1-800-NO-COPYS (1-800-662-6797) and explain in a polite and orderly way what you think
I think that although your article was pretty unthoughfull you did something great.
You or your company linked to the slashdot postings in a disclaimer above the article and thereby made a little history. I never saw a mainstream media outlet connecting so fast with it's own critics. There could be a future where we didn't have to post on Slashdot to give you public feedback. Maybe one day an open discussion forum would exist under every (digital) article.
You brought that day a little closer, thanks allot.
You are absolutely right, people should be free to copy music and compensate the artists when they want to. Even without RIAA approval people can set up a site to donate money to artists. I'm prepared to help set up such a site including realtime credit card processing. To get the artists I copy from their money would be so cool.
Buying bandwith/backoffice and credit card processing should costs about $500,- each I'm prepared to pay for both, now I need people who can help design/promote.
Anyone who wants to get this this going email to artists@evation.com and I will set up a mailinglist and site. (if you wonder, evation.com is my company and that's where I'll get the money from)
