Due to the joys of the way DVDs work this is not really Macrovision's fault. The work required to produce a MV protected disc is to flip the 'protect with Macrovision' bit in the appropriate data structure on disc. Any screen-effects you see are due to the MV circuit in your decoder. You could try sue-ing Sony for not complying with their own specs but I'd imagine they would just give themselves the ability to get around it.
BBC BASIC V used 'COLOUR' to set the current graphics pen colour. English programming languages aren't unknown:).

You're probably referring to the Creative Archive. There are currently a small number of BFI clips available but eventually the BBC hope to have almost all their back catalogue availavle to download gratis, DRM free, from the UK.
From my totally unscientific sample of one school near to my college which I consult for, I can say that school IT managers tend to be some 'knowledgable person' the hire to 'learn on the job'. Schools cannot offer the kind of salarys required to get a professional IT manager in. Hence anyone they get in will either have to learn MS on the job or OSS. Also one might just point out that training is the one thing schools are very good at:).
Not necessarily. It works by setting itself up as a webproxy on your local machine and then pointing the browser to that proxy. The browser is, in fact, pretty irrelevant.
when running thunderbird, it fails to pick up new messages in linux or in windows when using gmail's pop service. is this a real app or is it that NaDa app i keep hearing so much about?
Works for me, you have set interval mail checking haven't you (i.e. told it to check mail every n minutes)?
don't tell me to pitch in and make these apps better. i'm a writer, not a programmer. i want things to JUST WORK on linux.
Then wait for the Fedora guys to package it instead. Then it will come in for free with up2date.
XCode is pretty nice as an IDE (for one it allows you to add shell script hooks to your projects) and the editor is OK (although the first person to make a vim plugin will get beer bought for them by me at least). No idea how it compares to VB.net but, AFAIAC, anyy IDE which includes more than an editor and project manager is bloated.
The SCM support (SVN, CVS and Perforce IIRC) is pretty nice too.
Certainly in EULAs up to and including Windows 2000 there was a clause saying that, if you didn't agree with the EULA for Windows, one could take the shrink-wrapped box back to the vendor for a refund. I don't know if the WinXP EULA has such a clause however.
I don't think the issue is whetehr or not Blizzard are right to have this as a policy - merely that they don't state the policy in the EULA and, in fact, contradict it on the packaging.
If the EULA states 'we allow you to kill bunnies' then they stop you from going on a killing spree the issue isn't one relating to the morality of killing bunnies, just them upholding their end of the bargain.
Why does the NYT story's Atlas have a fig-leaf whereas the poster's picture have none? Is this the same Atlas or is there soem photoshop censorship going on?

Works fine (i.e. no crash) on Firefox/Ubuntu PPC.

Now I know the mighty sparkes is coming it is worth making the effort to come!

Even the most cursorary investigation will reveal this to be false.
There are so many errors there that I must assume you sir are a troll :).
You can't zoom in to see street names on the OS website tho'.
Google Maps has the advantage of UI over many other sites (which, IMHO, is the main reason Google's offerings do well).
All very interesting but not much to do with the discovery of a lot of ancient texts....

I already run Ubunto on my Mini.
And the clause is no longer present in the XP EULA (just read it). Guess you would have to be careful not to buy a machine with XP installed.
Are you really entitled to a refund?

Seems to work OK in France where they have had it ever since I can remember.
