Kguitar midi output isn't broken, it assumes you're running timidity as a daemon. Dguitar can use either timidity or the java sound engine, when it uses timidity, it calls timidity explicitly.
Once I discovered Tuxguitar, I dropped kguitar and dguitar...
OLGA has been shut down by the RIAA... however, their archive is out there in torrent form and also on foreign sites which don't care about the RIAA...
it's a crossplatform java program that funtions almost as Guitar Pro. It can read and write several available formats so there's plenty of stuff out there to load up and examine/play back. I use it to examine the Bass score for pieces. It does Tab input and conventional music notation (conveniently on the same window) and there a fretboard display as well which shows you where to stick your finger (unfortunately it don't show you which one is best though)
firstly: why am I reminded of SCO and their team of MIT rocket scientists here... you know, the mysterious team who claimed that large chunks of the Linux kernel were line for line copied from Unix???
secondly... I was under the distinct impression that formulations were not patentable, only methods of manufacture...
downloading doesn't reproduce??? scuse me... but it seems like there's now more than one copy, the one on the server, and the one you've "downloaded" onto your computer...
Can you imagine if they had someone at a brick and mortar store and they threw out every 10th person who walked through?
they do that anyway... credit scoring... "no, you can't have an account with us... you're too poor... you don't borrow enough... you pay off your credit cards in full every month... you defaulted on a loan six years ago..."
Or maybe someone can figure out how to broadcast images to all nearby Zunes with a linux app, so when I drive down the street or ride the train with my laptop I could flood all the nearby Zunes with goatse images.
I'm confused... why does it have to be a Linux app??? are you trying to conflate evil hacking AND goatse with Linux??? is this some evil association with Linux smear you're trying to pull on Linux users in general???
download and install the windows version of firefox... and then run that with WINE and use that to install the windows version of flash 9... durrr... works for me...
If your distro's set up right, then double clicking on the firefox install.exe will install it using WINE... you just need to change the command for firefox on your normal shortcut/menu whatever to point to the windows firefox after it's installed... (oh and wrap the path in quotes as well...)
They have no effect in KDE so its not a bother there.
it might have no effect on your KDE... however, mine came ready set up to pull the Kmenu up when pressed...
What I do want to see however... is the Ctrl and left shift swap places... I've lost count of the number of times I've gone for a shifted letter and accidently done something completely different instead... such as cut some text or opened a file or even closed the bloody window I'm working in...
I can't believe you're taking DC, converting it to AC where you're then plugging in an AC to DC convertor again... why no DC-DC convertor then??? a simple 12volt to Xvolt is WHAT you need... I know laptop manufacturers are cheapskates, but surely it is not beyond the whit of man to provide BOTH an AC to DC adaptor (for normal use) AND a cigarette lighter socket adaptor for use in vehicles such as cars/boats/whatever in the box with the laptop...
I now run Ubuntu at home and at work. When all the windows systems are getting patched, updated crashing or just dying (my bosses computer needs a re-install this morning), I can just keep plugging away.
that's the real pisser though isn't it... everybody else can use the "my computer's playing up" excuse when they're late with some work... us Linux users can't
Kororaa had the 3-D drivers already there on the live disk and some fussbody got work on an improved live version stopped...
The main point I want to raise is that we do want to comply, honour and respect the GPL in relation to the Kororaa Project. Currently I am in limbo because no-one seems to be able to confirm the accusations made in the email.
If we are indeed in violation then on behalf of the Kororaa Project I sincerely apologise to the entire open source world, and will cease distribution of the Xgl Live CD immediately.
Is anyone out there able to shed some ground breaking light on this issue?
Although the Xgl Live CD has been halted, we are still working on the next official Kororaa release, 2006. Thank you all for your support.
And the strangest... the Google Maps Flight Simulator

WON'T TERRORISTS USE THIS TO PLAN 9/11 TYPE ATTACKS? They could. or they could use google maps, yahoo maps, msn mapping etc While i realise its a sensitive issue even including New York in there it's up to individuals to treat it as it's intended: a game about flying.
Lloyds TSB recently began trialling keyring-sized security devices, or "tokens", which generate a six-digit code to be used alongside usernames and passwords.
The system uses a code which changes every 30 seconds.
Barclays to increase security with card readers for online customers Barclays is to offer its banking customers an interoperable card reader by the end of this year or early 2007 as part of efforts to strengthen its online security.
The card reader for online transactions will be based on the recently established standard from the Association for Payment Clearing Services. It will enable more secure money transfers for customers by generating a unique authentication code for each transaction when a chip and Pin debit or credit card is inserted.
Once Red Hat© became a publicly traded company, their policies in relation to their EULA changed. At first, copies of their software could be redistributed without modification, provided the name Red Hat© was in a smaller font size. This continued for a couple of versions. At a later point, the EULA indicated their software couldn't be redistributed at all unless references to Red Hat© Linux in the software itself were removed. In other words, it was no longer possible to download Red Hat© Linux as-is and redistribute it.
The Linux community was not very pleased about this event. While the software on which Red Hat© Linux is based is still freely distributable under the GPL, the use of the Red Hat© name isn't allowed by other companies on non-official releases of Red Hat© Linux. The end result is Red Hat© has effectively prevented redistribution of the Red Hat© Linux distribution. It can be argued that Red Hat© has made many contributions to the Linux community. But it can also be argued Red Hat©'s business practices don't reflect the spirit of the GPL. Reviewing copyright law shows their is rationale in Red Hat©'s decision to protect the use of their name. All of this has been discussed ad nauseum in various newsgroups.
Because of the discussed events, Pink Tie Linux was created. Pink Tie Linux has been built from the Red Hat© Enterprise Linux source files and contains modifications to replace references to the name Red Hat© Linux with references to Pink Tie Linux. These modifications allow Pink Tie Linux to be freely distributable. The final Pink Tie Linux product has the minimal number of modifications to abide by the Red Hat© EULA, but still acts like Red Hat© Linux when installed. In other words, it is nearly a 100% Red Hat© Linux workalike Linux distribution that is freely redistributable.
I can't take a Linspire disk and pass on copies of it... and Freespire ISN'T functionally quivalent to Linspire... whilst Pink Tie IS functionally equivalent to Red Hat
It has everything to do with GPL compliance... we have a composite work here all on a disk that contains proprietary and gpl work. I can't redistribute the composite work because of those proprietary chunks...
This, basically, is the same reason that Suse was panned not so long ago because their YAST2 was not GPL compliant, but you couldn't have the distro that was Suse unless you has YAST2 because it was SO tightly interwoven into the ease with which Suse was configured... I could, personally, install it on as many of my own computers that I wanted to... but I couldn't give copies away to friends and family because of the YAST2 licence...
I can, however, take an Ubuntu disk, and make copies to give away or even sell for a nominal sum to cover the cost of copying them...
