  7. Train timetables on Copyright Decision In Australia Vindicates 3d-Party EPG Provider · · Score: 1

    Could somebody more legal-savvy than myself please explain what implications this ruling might have for e.g. this problem? Especially since para 28 in the ruling states that:

    Copyright does not protect facts or information. Copyright protects the particular form of expression of the information, namely the words, figures and symbols in which the pieces of information are expressed, and the selection and arrangement of that information.

    It's not just the ISP's fault, it's everybody's.

    No, it is the ISP's fault. I don't advertise $50 solid gold toilet bowls, because I can't supply $50 solid gold toilet bowls. If the ISP can't supply unlimited bandwidth, then the ISP shouldn't advertise unlimited bandwidth.

    "G'day fellas!"

  24. iriver FTW! on Syncing Music Players In Linux? · · Score: 1

    I just got my girlfriend a 12GB iriver X20 for her birthday. There's a menu setting which allows you to select the connection behaviour - whether it acts like a USB drive, or be compatible with WMP. Then, just drag & drop the mp3s/oggs. It even has a microSD slot, which I haven't played with yet.

    I have a 20GB iriver H10, which requires me to hold a button in while switching it on to put it into "Emergency Mode" so it appears as a USB drive. Prior to installing Rockbox, I then had to run easyH10 to build the database. Now, I just drag and drop - Rockbox builds the DB for me.

    Back in the day, I had an iriver iFP-120. iriver provided a firmware on their website which, when installed, caused the player to act like a USB drive.

    So, the H10 is the least Linux-friendly, and even that's not so bad! They're functional, durable, cheap & attractive little players.
