I know there are some big programs out on the net that used to cost money, then they turned free and finally they turned into OOS. Does anyone know if there are any plans to make WinAmp open source?
It would be one of the most active projects on SF (long live Subversion, though) and eventually there would be a Linux port.
If a music disk can be played on a computer, it is completely posible to record the music into ogg/mp3... even if it's through analog wires, it's still possible.
The only way to protect music is to make the disks NOT playable.
Why must Slashdot get all excited when a number like 5000 pops up? I don't understand why everyone is so excited about numbers. I took my 500th shit this month, you dont hear me calling the press do you?
What about the 5001st book? Will that also yeild a news item?
It doesnt "look" good at all. I don't know why someone would say that. The GUI is poorly _emulated_ and does not even use the complete Win32 GUI subset, instead creates it's own litle API that you can apply themese to.
Sorry, but Azureus is pretty slow. Just try resizing it and look at all the GUI inconsistencies.
You have a better alternative to accessing USB HID drivers? I'm really open to using somthing else because I'm not too fond of the current API set myself.
1) I'm a programmer. They don't call it programmer for nothing. 2) My software is going to be distributed in packages that cost over ten thousand dollars (USD), I'm sure "runtime revolution" is not somthing that will sounds good when the clients ask whats behind the software.
That's exactely what I'm doing... kind of. I'm seperating all platform-specific stuff from the pure-wxWidgets specific code in case a port for Linux or Mac arises.
When I say "native" I mean using native platform code to do the UI. Cocoa does this, no questions asked, but not on a non-Mac.
I've been using wxWidgets for some corperate develpment and I don't think I can be more happy with it. Integrating Cocoa into Mono is nice with GTK and all (didn't read article- sorry,) but is it going to use native UI faculties that the operating system provides? wxWidgets even has.NET interpolabilito under development called wx.NET and you can use that with Mono too.
One day one of my teachers kept some people after school to watch an experimental method of creating cartoons. It was Lord of The Rings, but the animated figures were toon-ized by using cell-shading and color manipulation based on edge algorithms.
It looks pretty cool, but you can tell that it's completely fake, not from the visuals, but because the motion is too human-like.
to somthing called DNS poison. Why? Because system administrators are anal and fail to realize that software like BIND is not written to be secure. Hell, DNS was not even designed for such a large internet. The original DNS implementors were bad programmers and designers.
BIND9... don't get your hopes up. The BIND company sells paches for their software. Meaning that if you don't pay them money then you're going to be running an errornouse DNS server.
Still most people use BIND for two reasons: no one wants to learn the crusty details of DNS and 2) Linux comes with BIND as it's default name library.

Anyone know about anything like this?
http://www.xbox-linux.org provides Linux for it. LinksBoks can act asa standalone browser. Or you can use Mozilla on it with Linux.
I've also seen someone have an Xbox strictely for SSH at defcon.
As stated in Re:That's pretty amazing. (a few posts up) it does not -- since Firefox is the latest Mozilla-based browser.

They make you use Amaya!

alright
How exactely would they "pull the plug" on this?
I just have to point it out.
I was setting up 10 Dell Optiplex machines today at work and I turned them all on at once so I can do the same thing on each one.
Step back a couple of feet.
The setup room is quiet.

Java is slow, obeist, and heavy.

I'm also using the Windows driver (usbhid.sys) HID functions. Can this RR shit do that? I don't think so.
What the fuck is _your_ problem? You're trying to change my mind?

why can't I find any references to the previous generations/iterations anywhere?
Yes.
Good for him.
I've losed a friend to cancer. It's too bad George Bush doesn't allow stem cell research.
You're right!
It's covered with a shiny $500 security guarantee. That's better then the nothingness BIND offers me...
BIND is open source, but that doesn't make it safe and secure. it's probobly more insecure just because of that.

Alternative like djbdns should be used.
... very old.
http://labs.google.com, check it out. The Google groups Bata have been oublic for a while now.
In un-configures terminals you'll get a ^H when you hit backspace. So it's a way of saying that you went back, erased, and continued typing.
I don't know how related these two things are, but the AfterNET IRC network has been ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H is being flooded with SYN packets and is -down-.
Is this related to these DDoS attacks?
