You could even have a fully open-source DRM implementation that used OTC technology: DRM code that you could even compile and build yourself and use to download high-value content. You would not be able to steal content downloaded by software you had built yourself. This makes no sense to me. Am I missing something? What prevents me from editing the source code and piping the output to my favorite encoder? I can't imagine any technique that is not trivial to hack.
Ah, the memories of trying debian for the first time a few years back.
If you neewbies don't get the parent post this is what happened to me (around 2001) the first time I put a CD in a linux system.
Insert cd. Rip to mp3 (after several hours of reading howtos, compiling lame etc...) Eject CD. Eject CD. Eject CD. WTF!!! Give me back the %$##%@ CD! Reboot the computer and hit the eject button quick before it reboots.
Usability has come a looong way. Automounting and unmounting seem like such a simple things. But it took YEARS till Ubuntu finally got it right.
This has not been settled yet. There is only one line of substance in the article.
"Since we intend to and always intended to comply with all open source software license requirements, we are confident that the matter will be quickly resolved," Graham Radstone, chairman and COO at Monsoon Multimedia said today in a statement.
He doesn't explain how it will be resolved.
There has been no statement from the SFLC or the Busybox developers.
So is this really resolved? Or is this just some BS attempt at damage control?
I read that and almost cried... WTF has happened to this country? Almost everything in that "joke" came true. Except cutting spending on social programs. I guess cutting spending on anything would have interfered with creating the massive deficit. I think I'm gonna be sick...
In your last example the for loop repeats the same fgets command in two different places. This is redundant and confusing for future maintainers. And why are you checking ferror? fgets returns null at both eof and on error. (And as another poster pointed out you get the argument order on fgets wrong.)
How about:
while ( a = fgets(line, sizeof(line), file) ) {
do_shit(); }
Too late now. The article is stale and in the future it will only be read at +4 and the parent will seem accurate to those who don't know any better...
I drove a 1981 Rx-7 for about 6 years. It had 55K miles on it when I bought it. It had 120K miles on it when I sold it. It was still passing smog. I never had problems with "rings" (apex seals?) I did "tune ups" several times. On a rotary the tune up is just replacing the ditributor cap, rotor, plugs, and wires. Thre are far fewer moving parts. There are no valves, lifters, camshafts, timing chains, etc.
I never had any problems with the engine. I was a teenager. I drove the car very hard. Burned through several clutches and brakes.
I still miss that car.
I heard that some of the early rotary engine Mazdas from the 1970s had apex seal issues. By the time the Rx-7 was introduced they had redesinged the seals and solved that problem. Rx-7 had catalytic converter.
I believe the FAA regulates use of the visible spectrum. Try transmitting high-powered narrow bandwidth light towards an airplane. You'll end up in jail.
This law dosen't make anything leagal that was previously illegal.
This law just adds additional penalties under specific circumstances related to p2p networks and "commercial" works that you dont't have permission to share.
will be both cooler and a lot less dense (70 degrees C, one atmosphere).
This doesn't make any sense. 70 degrees C is HOTTER then typical earth surface temperature. One atmosphere is the same density (I think you mean pressure) as sea level on earth.
Since the gravity is about the same as earth and the air pressure (and consequently the amount of atmosphere between this level and space) is the same as earth, the launch conditions are THE SAME as earth, except that at this level in the Venusian atmosphere there is no surface to support a launch platform.
I'll be very impressed if anyone actually returns a sample from this deep in the Venusian atmosphere.
Limewire already does what the article proposes. The sorcecode has been opened (not sure what license). The free official binary download includes ads.
Someone re-compiled it without the ads or the spyware. The re-compile was called Clean Limewire.
Clean Limewire is for the cheapskates who don't want to pay $8.50 to get the official ad-free version of limewire.
I went looking for the Clean Limewire website to put up a link but they seem to have dissapeared.

Which is silly. I'm no terrorism expert, but I don't think Osama took over and piloted four planes all by himself.

Oh, I agree with your main point.
But you posted code snippets to Slashdot.
And I just couldn't resist...

Since when does "filed a law suit against" = "shady dealing with"?
Redhat sued SCO in an attempt to prevent SCO from caliming ownership of Linux. The judge put the case on hold pending the outcome of SCO vs IBM.
