    "Camcorders account for 92 percent of all illegal copies of films that appear for sale over the Internet and are sold on street corners from Burbank to Beijing, according to the MPAA."

    Oh please. I've bought and downloaded many 'illegal copies' in my time, and that percentage is ridiculously high. You'd have to be nuts to buy a camcorder movie, when the 'direct copy of the dvd sent out as promo' version is available.

    They surely realise that any 'for sale' pirate version of the film came from an inside source, and this quote in the article is pure FUD.

    Two criticisms ....
    (both of which I read in reviews elsewhere, and agree with)

    1. The whole premise of why the grandfather left the clues for sophie, and tried to pass on the location of the grail is that only 3 (4?) people knew of its location, and the others had been killed, leaving just him. OH QUICK! I have to pass on this information, or it will die here ... and then at the end, meeting her grandmother, she says "oh, its ok, the society will rebuild, there are always people ready to move up, and we know the location" ... Hmm. No inconsistency there.

    2) The awful bit at the end, where they turn to each other, and go "OMG! I LUV U!" out of no-where. can someone say 'tacked on romantic ending'

    Aside from that, I loved it

    When compiling your kernel, drop the make dep and make clean and just #make bzImage modules modules_install.

    Why (or how, for that matter) would I install a program that I can't find the source for. Bison is gnu's yacc. Why would I use a program that hasn't been updated in the last 5 years, as compared to one under active development.

    well, i gave compiling with bison a go anyway... last time i tried this was beta2, and it failed dismally... this time, it seems to have succeeded. So now they're only guilty of misleading/wrong/old documentation. A slightly lesser crime, but still.

    Notice that moc does not compile with GNU bison, use standard AT&T yacc or Berkeley yacc instead.

    why do these people refuse to use commonly available tools. I've spent a lot of time searching for these, neither of which are under developemnt or even easily availble. Bison is under development. Why don't they use it, or at least let us use it ??? Because of this, I can't compile qt-3.0.0, and I think this is unacceptable.
