6. Prediction: Congress to pass Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The skinny: Congress will approve the DMCA by a unanimous vote and President Clinton will sign it into law, because, well, everyone favors copyright protection.
Long-term outlook: The only possible trouble with this one that I can foresee would be if someone were to launch a Web site that allowed anyone and everyone to post video clips of whatever they pleased. That might get sticky.
I thought pornotube was stickier than youtube, but I suppose both are up to their necks.

Her last day with the organization is Dec. 31, though she will continue consulting with OLPC, according to the e-mail. Dec. 31 is also the end of OLPC's Give One Get One program, in which two XO laptops can be purchased for about US$400, with a user getting one laptop and the other being donated.
You are correct in stating that everything we do is because a path was laid out before us. We are standing upon the shoulders of giants without which we would have no basis for our current (possibly flawed) systems.
With open source we can continue to build and make it better for everyone.
Open Source is not a religion or an oppressive regime, if you don't like the way something is done you can make it better yourself. If others believe in your direction they will follow.
After posting this I went away and did some more searching. I discovered a great thread about video playback between the author of mplayer and a guy inside nokia.
Its a must read for anyone interested in the inner workings of the nokia devices.
From what I know the screen can be updated reasonably quickly (because movies can play smoothly) but from what I can also gather is that this only occurs once the device clocks itself to 400mhz and talks directly to the lower graphics driver.
I am not afraid of direct hardware knocking but think I need to get lower than python+gtk to get there.
I got one a couple of weeks ago and I am more than happy with it. However it is not a slick device like an iphone.
Does anyone have any information about a Windows based development toolchain? Currently I am starting with Python+gtk but on the device I am finding performance limited (even compared to the old pocket pc.net code which I thought crawled along). It appears as though its main problem is refreshing the 800*480 screen quickly.
Just do what I do with links on slashdot. Pretend you are playing a game and in your head just before you click a link, think "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."
It works wonders and the next time you play the game you are more cautious about clicking links. At the absolute very least the grandparent did not hide any of his links in redirection services.
I just paid £289 for a nokia n810 with Maemo Linux installed. When I told them that linux is free and tried to walk out of the store without paying they got the guards to ruff me up a bit.
Actually they are targeting the single instant gatso type cameras which flash you for daring to drive past a bit quick. I doubt you could take down a whole colony of averaging cameras in enough time to not be detected.
The only problem with releasing trojans in Linux is that the damned things have to be GPL. Having to leave the contact details for people wanting the source also makes it a bit tricky.

No, hes not leading the poll but digg users are already revolting and threatening to email Nintendo and force them to include him in the next update.

The lifeguards now carry tasers.
Just to point out they use Star wars as an entry point, however on its own the game is wicked and you can use your wii-mote as god intended :)
You don't have to drink beer with your OSS, I've heard Wine works really well with Microsoft cheese :)
We hear about CC theft a lot and I am sure it does occur, but most of the time its embarrassment which is the real culprit.
...
"darling, the CC company says we owe them $2400 dollars."
"thats nonsense, I barely use my CC"
"it says there were hookers, gallons of gin and a blackjack tableset ordered to an address in Nevada."
"OMG it must have been the waiter in the diner I went in on the way to the 'conference' with work! (pray you are saying it with a straight face)"
I have never considered a skyscraper to be like a nipple before.
I've always considered them penis extensions for blokes who have outgrown cars.

That looks like a perfectly reasonable versioning scheme to me.
You know 100% if your version is older or newer than another version.
already posted bug report, its in hand.

pudge: Yes, this is known, and we know it's a problem. We have plans to deal with it.

Step back people, these dethronings are always messy.
You might want to shield the eyes of the younger ones.
holy crap.

Take radiation for example. You can't see it, can't taste it, can't feel it and without the proper tools you'd never know you're sitting in it.
So thats how goatse got the way he did.
Mirror of image here: o.
I managed to patent "Now you owe me {Currency}". Now you owe me $20.
Shit! I just had a letter from my lawyer telling me I am infringing upon a patent and owe him $25.
I wouldn't say slowed.
If anything SCO has done more than any other organisation at managing to get Linux on the lips of the upper management.
Remember, any publicity is good publicity.
I have a 500GB portable drive stocked full of porn and violent games.
Huzzah!
(when will they limit the size of your drive in the same way they limit liquids and gels?)
