    even windows update works due to the ~/.crossover/fake_windows stuff :)

  14. Music Lovers on RIAA Threatens More Music-Lovers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I love music, and I've not been threatened. Maybe they're going after people who violate copyright law. *shocker*

  15. Re:Disgusting precendent... on Mandrake Linux 9.2, Adware Version · · Score: 1

    Yast is Open Source, but not GPL. You can view the licence here
    You can get a full version of SuSE (equivilent of Pro edition) from the ftp site.
    The only thing you don't get is commercial applications like Mainactor. Yast is a pretty good tool, allowing central administration of the system from one place. Yes it has some bugs, but current versions work very well.

  19. Apple usage policy on Testing The Right To Resell Downloaded Music · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Not sure about legal rights, but I'm pretty sure the apple terms and conditions of the service would have something to say on this matter, and he would have agreed to them before being able to download the song.

  20. Re:The straw that broke the PHB's back? on Microsoft Prepares Office Lock-in · · Score: 1

    all I know about the dilbert characters is that there is a guy who goes "I HEARD A RUMOR!"...

  22. Re:greedy yanks on SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims · · Score: 1

    Hey.. I'm all for spanking... if fact, I sometimes pay good money for it :P

  23. Re:greedy yanks on SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is becoming more and more clear..

    Europe are prepared to take a stand, and the US just sit back and let people / corporations make all the claims and have all the power they want.

    This seems to be evident in the Microsoft Antitrust stuff, the Software Patents Issue and now the SCO case.

    Glad I live in europe.

  24. Re:FINED! for what? on SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims · · Score: 5, Informative

    They are being fined for continuing to make claims, when the german courts said they must not until the case goes to course.

    The are in violation of the injuction made against them spreading FUD while the case runs, which was brought about by linuxtag.
