Not sure exactly what's doing it, but in my Ubuntu and gNewSense installs:
If I insert a CD with autorun files on it or it has an autorun folder, I am prompted that this disc has software on it designed to run automatically, and I am asked what I would like to do about it.
Seemed to be pretty sensible really. I mean *I* inserted the CD, so I expect something to happen.
RTFBP again. He's not using any proxy server or messaging depot--he's going to connect directly to his company's mail server, and not have Nokia cache the email for him.
Why does Nokia need a copy of his credentials in that case?
The 'microconsole' will be hacked to have GNU/Linux and other FLOSS OSs installed within the first few weeks. Hardware geeks everywhere the device is offered sign up for a gaming service only to hack the subsidized hardware and then drop the subscription as soon as legally feasable....like every other time someone thought to subsidize commodity PC hardware (or something based upon it) with a subscription model.
Article also talks about "no piracy because it's not running locally."
That's cute, I suppose latency might be a real pain then?
Last I checked that wasn't the requirement--the LGPLv3 requirement was that the downstream user (no such thing as an "end user") had to be as able to replace the implementation as easily as the author/upstream user can. That means things like signing keys, etc.
If it's in ROM and no one can replace it, that's fine (the license doesn't say you can't put binaries on write-once media. Seriously. Start grepping for it.)
You still have to distribute source and follow the rest of the rules.
You can make a buck giving stuff away easily, Kevin. The trick is that the things you give away are complimentary to the things you make money on. Simple economics.
Take, for example, the Elphel cameras. All the software that runs on their cameras is under the GPL. They make money off the hardware--and they also make money off the fact that they don't really restrict their customers. You can pretty much do what you want with their cameras in terms of customizing it to your use--as long as you play by the terms of the GPL.
Standardization isn't good for innovators, perhaps. But the lack of it is very very bad for everyone else.
Most of the time, you're going to be everyone else.
Sins of a Solar Empire doesn't need to be registered to play. Just update. It's also DRM free. The registration/regular updates are the benefit to purchasing.
And if Civilization screwed up your machine, why are you blaming Sins of a Solar Empire / Stardock?
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like a good way to encourage fixes. :)
My ancient ThinkPad A22m has only one.
Then again it doesn't have BT either, but at least the BT dongle can talk to more than one device at a time.

(They don't.)
Except that the "crime" here was sending an email. The additional complaints are really complainant's attempt to smear/punish the defendant.
We've had stability issues but we're running an older version and haven't gotten around to upgrading yet.
Logging is pretty easy.
A quick google reveals that this guy's research is at least very close to this, if not published on his site yet:

Some really useful and interesting stuff.
Only one B needed.
Maryland also holds the title.
Thankfully when I started switching states my car was paid off.
Is this part of the UCTIA law or separate? They almost got my hopes up with this one.
Don't turn on the lights!
Shuttleworth has stated before that he was able to start Thawte due directly to F/OSS.

AMD has contributed to Coreboot support on their boards for about 2 years now. (According to the news posts at least.)
PDF has been suggested in other proposals for publication.
XPS is proprietary.
Now does he Photoshop the price tags or does he digitially alter the price tags with Adobe® Photoshop®?
I have a friend that "Photoshops with The GIMP" but I think he does that one to tweak the Adobe fans in our circle of friends.

Got spanning tree? :)
GPL is not a EULA and doesn't work the same way. You do not have to *agree* to the GPL to use the software.
If you break the GPL, then you can't use it.
The problem is quite simple--you're using blob drivers. Try disabling them if at all possible.
Nope, only 10.6.
In my experience Citrix has some serious out-of-band issues with modifier keys on Linux and Mac OS X. Shift key events don't send correctly.
I type so fast that I mean "Citrix" and I get "cItrix"
I've tested this on Ubuntu 7.10, 8.04, and 8.10, and my friends report issues on Mac OS X.

I do adore how the money is apparently only for "Ogg" (and the OP means Ogg Vorbis) when Ogg is the *container format*.
Speex is just as supported by the Xiph foundation as Vorbis is.
