  1. Re:legally / technically possible for iBook instea on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 1

    This only applies to the Mac OS X Family Pack, which you may install on up to five computers instead of just one. It therefore costs a bit more than a single license ($199 vs. $129).

    So you may not just use the Tiger CD from a new Mac to update your other Macs.

  2. Re:Never on When Would You Accept DRM? · · Score: 1

    Indeed.
    I am happy to support artists who offer un-DRM'ed music online (like this one), but there is absolutely no way I'll ever buy DRM'ed media. Period.

  3. Re:What if it is outlawed? on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    > like Germany, where Macrovision is illegal, because it prevents backups
    On the contrary: in Germany Macrovision is not only perfectly legal, circumventing it is illegal under current german copyright law.

  4. JOrbis! on Theora Codec Ported to Java · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, the applet does use JOrbis.

  5. Snow Falling on Cedars on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    It sucks as a drama, it sucks bigtime as love story, it bores you to death and the music is a waste of sound waves...

  6. current state - P2P - DRM = close to happiness on IFPI 'First Wave' Sues 247 In Europe & Canada · · Score: 1

    I couldn't care less if the likes of Kazaa were shut down, but I want DRM-free music.
    iTMS-like pricetags are OK, as long as the music is offered without "Digital Restrictions Management".
    I think the problem for many people who want to buy music online is that not only the P2P-genie seems to be out of the bottle, but his DRM-cousin as well.
    Any way to get rid of both would be most appreciated.

  7. Re:Removing Japanese fonts as well? on Mandrake Blocked By XFree86 4.4 License · · Score: 2, Informative

    These fonts wouldn't happen to be ttf-kochi-gothic and ttf-kochi-mincho?
    There are two versions of these fonts, one which is public-domain and the original one which contains non-free hinting information.
    See also this post to the debian-devel mailinglist.

  8. Re:source available for download... on MPlayer Alleges KISS Technology Violating GPL · · Score: 2, Informative

    This ZIP-file only contains soucecode for uClinux and busybox.

  9. Re:A taste of their own medicine on MPlayer Alleges KISS Technology Violating GPL · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ever read the credits for MPlayer? Quite a number of people from Hungary are listed there...

  10. Worst: Jester Till, Best: Finding Nemo on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 0

    Nemo rules them all, closely followed by Tokyo Godfathers, ROTK and Pirates of the Caribbean.

  11. KLF has known the "hit" formula for years... ;-) on Decoding the Algorithm for Pop Music · · Score: 0

    Just read the manual on how to get a #1 hit the easy way by The KLF.
    It has been first published in 1988!

  12. As they say in Germany: "Totgesagte leben laenger" on Microsoft Proclaims Death of Free Software Model · · Score: 0

    ...which means: "those pronounced dead live longer", so you don't have to bother asking the fish...

  13. Whisper of the heart on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 0

    My favourite would be Mimi wo sumaseba/Whisper of the heart (produced, written and storyboarded by Hayao Miyazaki, by the way...).

  14. One more reason... on Don't Eat The White Snow Either · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...for the sad girls in snow to be sad indeed...

  15. Sourceforge has the PCI ID list, as well... on The End of the Free PCI Device List (Update) · · Score: 0

    Finally those three-headed monkeys invade Linux as well... ;-)
