"People can rest assured that we are aware of the need for a strong security system for our technology infrastructure," said Garcia, reading from a prepared statement, "and we are working with our partners, Cisco and Microsoft, to ensure that our systems remain secure."
it isn't everything. Microsoft still has enough cash to fight this. Our local radio (Switzerland) still broadcasts in.asx. I sent them an e-mail asking them why. They said because their server is sponsored by Microsoft.
Now I listen to virgin radio, they broadcast in broadband ogg
DRM is evil (or at least user-unfriendly), yes... but this just means that WMA will be more used where DRM is 'needed'. To be honest, I'd prefer a DRMed iTunes song (that I can burn to CD, put on an iPod and play on several different PCs) than a WMA (more restrictions, only playable in Windows Media Player, and disgusting compression!)
OGG rules:)
there are lots of other really cool distributed computing projects here
Most people I know only know about SETI@home and maybe Genome@home or Folding@home. I'm at GIMPS.
The only service that has been able to stop my spam: www.spamgourmet.com (or www.xoxy.net if you're too lazy to type more). Actually, I think spamgourmet gets recommended on almost every/.-spam-post!
Could it be that the server hosting the quicktime/real videos has been slashdotted? I have a 4kB/s download, when I should have something like 150. Also my download speed is slowly but surely declining!

quit spending millions on advertising the fact that they are so much more secure than Linux!
... with that you can do pretty much everything mentioned in the article, provided you do it in the console (combined with ssh, that is).
They'll probably just use Infra-red filters!
wow, just imagine how buggy this player would be if it ran windows!

www.daujones.com has lots of very funny stories like this
McBride also claims that he doesn't know what BayStar's about either. Is he really that thick?
I doubt many /.ers need to worry about that ...
I would much prefer WMA and WMV to be hacked! I find that much worse than Apples iTunes!
