  1. DVDs in New Zealand on Regulator Challenges DVD Zoning · · Score: 1
    It has been a requirement in New Zealand that all players sold must be multizone for over a year now.

    Have you got a reference for that? I live in New Zealand, and I wasn't aware of this. It's certainly the norm for DVD players to get modified to play any region's discs when they're sold, though.

    It's interesting to look at Amazon's top 10 selling DVDs in NZ and see that they're all region 1. It's the same for Australia as well. I guess if you wanted non-region 1 DVDs, you wouldn't shop at Amazon, though.

  2. Re:Client? on Lotus Domino to ship RSN · · Score: 1
    One last comment, since there was a rumour at the conference to that effect -- Someone told me that the Win32 Notes client ran on top of WINE, the Windows Emulator for Linux. Has anyone confirmed this?

    I'm running the Win32 Notes R5 client under Wine as I write this. It's not altogether stable, but is good enough for reading and replying to email without rebooting to Win98.

  3. Themes? on Various Slashdot Fixes · · Score: 1

    As a simple first step, how about letting us enter the URL of a stylesheet to use? Then people can put their /. theme on their web page and let anyone use it. The pages might need a bit of tweaking, but most of my pages use simple stylesheets now.

  4. NS4 does PNG and Anti-aliased fonts. on Feature:The Story of PNG · · Score: 1

    Anti-aliased fonts are done by the windowing system. X Windows doesn't do them; Win95 does, with this patch from M$.

  5. I think my next distro to try out will be Debian on Debian 2.1 'Slink' Release Postponed · · Score: 1

    It's

    # dpkg --force-i-have-backups-and-know-what-im-doing --install libreadlineg2-*.deb

    HTH!
