  5. Re:Now might be the time for ANts on UK Record Industry Sues 'Major Filesharers' · · Score: 1
    I see media on the internet going four ways:
    1. Unlicensed sharing goes further uderground: anonymous networks, personal networks, individual sharing (social networks). Happening now.
    2. Small bussineses trying to take advantage of the distribution possibilities without Big Media. Has been going for some time.
    3. Big Media selling their content as DRMed as the customer accepts. Starting to pick up.
    4. Amateurs fill the niche for free, legal, but not that polished entertainment. Is currently in the state free software was before Linux came along: some people are creating and organizing themselves, but still very fragmented and generaly unknown. At the moment mostly fiction and music, video seems to be around the corner with afordable equipment and free software for 3D animation and video processing maturing. The best games are in the "small and addictive" category, which isn't and enough for many non-gamers.
    What the balance will be remains to be seen.
  6. Re:DIsappointing... on Mandrake Linux 10.1 for PPC Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's because the releases are so close together. Gnome 2.8 was released just before Mandrake 10.1 community, there is no way it could be included.

    Isn't this song getting old? There is nothing original in MS Office it has all been done before. There are many other projects than OO.o, they are just not beeing talked about because they are not MS Office clones.

    It souldn't receive any protection at all beyond (reasonable) copyright. What if someone spent 7-years on similar algorithms and you patent before they do? Why do they deserve less protection just because they started a year later?
