  1. Start Charging Millions? on Theora Ahead of H.264 In Objective PSNR Quality · · Score: 1

    The software agreement that is linked in this article is for the license period that ends on December 31, 2010. Currently, there is no other license for the period beyond that so to accuse them of bait and switch and say that we may have to pay or may not have to pay is pure hyperbole & speculation.

    A good way to foment the open source masses, but a little too Fox News for my taste.

  2. Re:Rock Band before iTunes? on Rock Band Licenses The Beatles · · Score: 1

    Sony/ATV owns a large chunk of the publishing rights to The Beatles catalog.

    Rights to the recordings (mechanicals) are still owned by EMI and Apple Corps, Ltd.

  3. Re:Say WHAT? on Microsoft Backs Out Of Wi-Fi Equipment Market · · Score: 1
    For Linux, I've been very fond of the "Orinoco Gold" card. They're fairly easy to get online, work very well, and allow external antennas to be attached.

    I don't know what I've done wrong but I'm pretty annoyed at my Orinoco Gold card that I cannot get to work with Knoppix, Debian or SuSE 9.

    I bought the B/G card (8470-WD) only to find that I can't get it to work in any distro I try to use it in.

    The final injustice for me is that the reception is the worst of any wifi adapter I've tested. This includes Apple, Centrino, Netgear & Linksys. In fact, I inherited a customer's old Linksys USB WUSB11 v2.5 and was able to get better reception in my bedroom with it than the Orinoco Gold card in the same spot.

    Sure the reception is fine with an external antenna, but that completely defeats my purpose.

  4. Try CMD on Windows ME - The End Of UMSDOS And BeOSfs Over Vfat? · · Score: 1

    "cmd" from the Start/Run dialog will get you into MS-DOS under WinME. Same as NT/W2K.

  5. Icourse Recordings on Non-RIAA Record Companies? · · Score: 1

    Icourse Recordings (http://www.icourse.com) offers worldwide distribution to artists who have recorded and packaged a CD but want distribution. They are not members of the RIAA and do not distribute through RIAA members.

  6. Re:Cool.... but not really on 10th Anniversary of Steve Jackson Games Raid · · Score: 1

    It's more interesting than yet another article regarding the GPL.
