If you had 300 real CDs, you wouldn't keep them all in a pile anyway; you'd use a CD tower, or keep a list. Who's to say you can't recreate either of those methods on your computer?
Have you seen the demo of Sun's Looking Glass project, with the 3-D CD jukebox? It's amazing. I was simply blown away by the sheer intuitiveness and smoothness of the whole interface.
You seem to be misunderstanding it. The pixmaps are updated in real-time. There are two layers: the Xwnc layer renders the windows as pixmaps, and the FvwmAmetista displays the pixmaps using OpenGL.
I mean, come on now, a Wiki isn't a discussion forum, it wouldn't be terrible to have to wait even 24 hours before something updates...
Actually, yes, it can be. The whole point of a Wiki is flexibility. It can be used as a discussion board, chat room, encyclopedia, whatever. If you constantly have to have people approving everything, effective collaboration goes right out the window.
What they should have done was temporarily lock down editing once the page was slashdotted, and unlocked it once the hits died down.
No, a bunch of sites were hacked with JavaScript code to redirect them to a specific IP address, which then sends the virus. At least that's how I interpreted the technobabble.
The code is open, certainly, but not free... You can't reuse it. You can't change it. You can't fork it. It's absolutely useless... they could probably claim that you're violating their IP/copyright
If I may quote from the CPL:
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form....
Read the article. It's about building a Minix-based distro, not writing a kernel from the ground up. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Ken Brown's nonsense.
IMHO, the most important section of this bill is section 5(b)(2):
(b) FAIR USE RESTORATION- Section 1201(c) of title 17, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1), by inserting before the period at the end the following: `and it is not a violation of this section to circumvent a technological measure in connection with access to, or the use of, a work if such circumvention does not result in an infringement of the copyright in the work'; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
`(5) It shall not be a violation of this title to manufacture, distribute, or make noninfringing use of a hardware or software product capable of enabling significant noninfringing use of a copyrighted work.'.
Finally, at least some of our rights are being upheld.

It would be a lot more impressive if the stream hadn't GROUND to a SCREECHING HALT within 5 minutes of being posted...
Maybe with this?

I just reverted it (as well as I could) but who knows how long it'll last before it's vandalized again. My guess is 30 seconds.
The score was -1 because that was the poster's starting level, not because it was modded down.
Sad but true.
So what? If your email address isn't traceable, your IP certainly will be.
The testing program from HP seems to be Windows-only. Oh well, I'll just run it under Bochs.
Sheesh. Some people just can't take a joke. Remind me to use tags next time.
Of course he will. Remember, BSD is dying!

Yep, I've done it myself. It's pretty crummy quality at 64kbps, though.
You see, the Star Trek ships are equipped with this special Vulcan device called a sound mixing board...
The site which is actually sending the infected file seems to have been slashdotted. Is this the next wave of antivirus technology?
If I may quote from the CPL:
Are you happy now?
"Beardless" would indicate never having had a beard at all.
:)
In other words, "free as in beard."

Yeah... and the interent is really slow too. Those guys never hurry!
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...."

What's frightening is that it got modded +1 Interesting.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to start an argument, just curious. :) Thanks for the link, I'll listen to it as soon as I get around to downloading RealPlayer.
If they don't have evidence that it's causing a problem, why are they starting a lawsuit?
