XMMS has been included in SuSElinux since at leats 8.2. It's great, it has the interface of winamp with none of the bloat that I've come to hate from winamp. Check it out
I didn't think this was redundent at all good thing I browse at -1.
How many people use the word ain't? How many people use alot?
Just because many poeple use the word doesn't make it proper and all my English teachers have proven this to me when they used to take points away from my papers for using words that were infact not words.
IMHO virii is a word construted by nerds here at/. to make themsleve appear smarter than the average person., but like I said thats just IMHO
I think we should have a FAQ for/. that has some of the most common misconceptions and that way when some one uses something that is wrong we just point to the FAQ.
So why don't we finally get this settled as I have seen it twice today. Am I correct when I say virii is not a word. At dictionary.com the plural for virus is viruses.
You laugh but I used to work at the computer lab for Florida State U. anyway before all the dorms got ethernet and you had to come to the computer lab and make a copy of the dial up networking software and othet software like eudora etc. Anyway People would walk in and show me their 5 3.5 floppies and ask what they needed to do to copy the internet to their disks.
I would respond with "first off, your going to need more disks"
I think you lost sight of the original issue. according to the article Their licenses require that they sell only to other CSS-licensed companies. Just because this security messuer is now more or less weak, it does not mean that they should be able to break the agrement.
I don't think this article has anything to do with your (end consumer) fair use rights it is about an agrement between companies.
Seriously though I couldn't agree more. A lot of people here suffer from the "good 'ole days" syndrome, for these people their was no way that the new movies could live up to the expectations. I think it's also why so many fanboys are upset with AVP, which I though was a good movie.
I've been trying to figure out what to call these people. The ones that are so upset by the fact that "the new movies are ruining my memories or childhood", "are destroying our culture" and "Han shoots first" Maybe these people should be called Fanboy-Purists. The attitude that anything that would in anyway ruin the original must be heresy.
Repeat after me: "It is only a movie" You don't need to see it no one is pulling a Clockwork Orange thing here and forcing you to watch it.
Your post remined me of a modern mirror. Why is the second movie in a trillogy more or less liek a bride from the first to the last. It's kinda like LOTR:TTT AOTC I think was like this and so was ESB. Is it a rule somwhere that the 3rd installment of a movcire tillogy must have a down ending?
IANAL How about you use I didn't RTFA also. Had you read the article or even the posts you would have seen that this was filed years ago. Well before the Xbox came to the seen.
Actually this makes me happy in a wierd way. I 'd much rather see Nintendo get this patent than Microsoft. I have no doubt in my mind that if they could have gotten this pattent they would have used it to beat up on Nintendo, just so they could get of one more player and do what they love to do in markets. Now maybe someone can do it to them.
Or the quadralaplegic guy in a family guy episode that was competering against Joe Swanson.
I want some one to send me an email with the subject
[electronic voice] That was pathetic. Tell your wife to come over to my place if she wants a little boom shacka-lacka-lacka-lacka-lacka. Boom shacka-lacka-lacka-lacka-lacka. Boom shacka-lacka-lacka-lacka-lacka. Boom.
I think tagging and water marks are a form of protection, just like lowjack in a car is a form of car protection, granted its protection after the fact but it's still a protection.
I PAY for Cedega and your statment paying user is bothered total bunk. So what they tag the build that I get, how does that bother me?
treated like a soon to be criminal Obviously it's getting out onto p2p networks somehow, if they can use this to find out if it's an external leak then more power to them.
and that legitimate uses of the software are at times prevented I have yet to be Inconvenienced and I doubt that I will, and if something happens and I am then I can always stop paying for it.
I could go on and start ranting about how I am getting tired about the attitude by some people here that "copy protection always equals bad" but I wont, not today anyway.
Reminds me of an incident in Fl, some public offical (a judge IIRC) was going for re-election and the day before the voting Geraldo had a piece about alien abductions, in which she was a guest that said aliens cured her of cancer she tried everything to get them to delay airing until after the election, they didn't and she lost.
In some respects they already do things that some would say are unhealthy. Like the high school kid that takes diacritics to lose a couple oz. to make weigh in.
There is a difference between college and pro and the line gets crossed allot and they deal with it, like paying athletes or giving them things or offering them services. Having different rules for college/HS athletes vs. pro athletes for doping would be no different. Yes the line will be crossed and already is every so often. I played varsity sports in HS (swimming and diving). I knew I would never be as good as some of the other swimmers no matter how hard I tried but that didn't bother me, I was happy when I did my best, knowing that I "played fair" Granted swimming is not like football you don't worry about making a pro swimming team to make millions. So I don't know, and like I said I don't acre it is between the athlete and the governing body for that sport.
I'm the kind of nerd that goes to the jon at work and hopes that someone leaves any part of the newspaper other than the sports section. Today I was of course disapointed yet again.
Seriously though I could care less if someone dopes or not. It's between the athlete and the governing body. I don't see how it effects my life in any way. Which is why I lost alot of repect for W when he mentioned doping at during one the State of the Union address. all the problems in thsi world and we botehr ourselves with the fatc that a person playing a game is augmenting them selves in a way that someone deems unethical.
How can this be a good idea? This program is crippleware? How do they expect it to compete with linux or pirated windows? 3 programs only? after a virus program that leaves two. This boggles the mind. It crippels the network services which is one of the keypoints of Linux.
I keep thinking it's like watching a Histroy Channel show on the last days of Hitler, when his military strategy just went off the deep end.
I think there is an optimum speed for cars and it's probably different for each car. I just can't imaging the a car engine being as efficient when it pushing a car at 100mph as it is at 50mph.
there are several sites on the net that talk about fuel usage going up dramatically with relation to increasing speed past a certain point. BP has this to say The most efficient speed for driving varies from vehicle to vehicle. However, over 90 km/h, fuel consumption increases dramatically with increases in speed. Also, according to Bankrate.comFor example, driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph can improve your fuel economy by two miles per gallon.
I don't know how much I trust the second link but I do trust BP, there are many more sites out there to explain this, try a Google search.
With that said, I used to use the same logic as you until some people at my internship started explaining things to me.

is that hwo you spell it. I tried to get word to find it 4 or 5 times then I just gave up and chose something that was close. Thanks
Yeah, because his administration has been otherwise impeccable...
I didn't go that far, I was just listing one out of many on my personal list....

I know I know and I always correct people for "could care less' vs "could not care less". Thanks for pointing out my stupidity.
This is /. afterall.
