I live in France, in Choisy-le-Roi, at 12 km of Paris. At about 20:00 UTC (22:00 localtime) with (+-10 minutes of error), I've seen one fireball falling. I don't know the size and the distance at which it falled. But the direction was 170 degrees from my position. It didn't falled directly from up to down but with a small deviation from east to west.
I've called the local autorithy (Gendarmerie Nationale) at about 23:40 (localtime) but they said they had no other report.
Try to implement the two following code snipnet in assembly:
---8<---8<--- int n=50; for(int i=0; i<n; n++)
print "OK"; ---8<---8<--- int n=50; for(int i=n; i>0; i--)
print "OK"; ---8<---8<---
If you use the instruction set appropriately you'll understand that the second loop is more efficient because "loop if i>0" because there is a special opcode that can do that in just one instruction, whereas "loop if i>n" may require more.
Trolltech built a working buisness model this way. Their Qt library is distibuted both under GPL for "pure" free software projects, and commercially under an other licence.
According to the press release, source code should now be available. Did someone found it on the site ?
However the biggest problem is that it is probably not released under the GPL as requested. The licence for the binaries is still 100% proprietary: "You may NOT modify, prepare derivative works of, rent, lease, distribute, sublicense, sell or transfer the Software or any part thereof." See http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/RMP4_SLA.htm
I wonder what does this means: "You also expressly agree that you will not violate any copyright of a third party or Sigma in your use of the Software."

Komodo 2.0 : a commercial IDE for multiple languages: Perl, Python, PHP, Tcl, XSLT. I've not tried it, but it looks interresting.
Correction: the small (less than 10 degrees) deviation was from west to east. 170 degrees is the azimuth of the land point.
I've seen it trough a window, while watching TV. The land point was hidden to me by the house of one of my neighboors.
Hey, I'm not the only one to have seen this!!

SmartFTP and Trillian are not Free Software.
None of the four will work on Linux.
The Win32 version seems to be here : http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/
However I've not tested it.
They have to release the source code for their library that is linked to GPL code.
Here is an other article from an HP insider : The great printer scam . It describes the strategies of printer manufacturers
Don't forget also Understanding, Reversing, and Hacking HP Printers , which however may be a bit off topic but was the original article to which the above on refers.

The new licence costs for players.

The problem would be the cost.
Currently, all sales of games consoles cost money to the manufacturer. There income is from software.
A hardware-equivalent "GNU games console" would require a much higher price.
