TiMidity is listed as one of the GPL'ed external components. Even this has been liberated by the author. Read here:
If you'd like to continue hacking on TiMidity, feel free. I'm hereby extending the TiMidity license agreement: you can now select the most convenient license for your needs from (1) the GNU GPL, (2) the GNU LGPL, or (3) the Perl Artistic License.
IIRC, according to Debian, linking is and always has been allowed. It's DISTRIBUTING BINARIES that they say they can't do.
Note that they could distribute KDE libs and other free KDE applications under non-GPL licenses any time they want. They could very well distribute convenient source packages for GPL'ed KDE applications like they do in several other cases already (eg, Pine).
However I don't think anything can get past the current political barrier to including KDE in any form in Debian.
Oh man! Great quote. When the heck is the next Star Trek coming out?! Bring back TNG dammit.

Yeah, KDE2 is looking awesome. I've switched to it as my regular desktop. Konqueror is unbelievable. KOffice looks sweet.
Some of the KDE modules still need work though. KPPP is not quite there for example -- no docking as in KDE1 and Pixie, though nice, does some weird resizing that sometimes confuses the WM. Pixie could use some of that extra polish that makes XV the king of image viewers (like Tab to go to next image, etc).
The KControl hierarchy is a mess, IMHO. I hope we can fix that soon. The Corel guys have promised to look into it.
Ahh, but this doesn't work in the.htaccess context of course. I guess it's reasonable to assume if you're setting yourself up to be slashdotted, that you have access to the Apache configuration, though.
Ah suck, Slashdot did munge the stuff very slightly despite my best efforts and I managed to press "submit" instead of "preview" before fixing some of the code and removing that extraneous ';' before one of the print statements there.
Oh well, if you have trouble figuring it out, you can always email me and ask.
There is a second resurgence, on a much smaller scale, two day's later which peaks at about 9:30am, with an abrupt fall off and then a re-resurgence around 6pm that day. This is seen in Figure 4. plot. The author scanned the various Linux news web pages for posting of the/. effect article but found none. This small resurgence occurring 2 days after the initial posting by/. is unexplained and open to interpretation.
It's easy to log the referrer in Apache. I do it using a combination of.htaccess/cgi hacks. I've found some interesting things this way, including links from news sites/mailing-lists/newsgroups from over the world that I wouldn't have found otherwise. A link to the author's paper could have been posted on a russian linux news site, for example.
If you're curious as to how this can be done under Apache, here's a rough description (apologies in advance for any ugly or careless code and any "Slashdot munging" in indentation, etc that may occur).
(1) Point people to a CGI script, not the direct page. If you want this file to end with.html, this isn't a problem as you can have a.htaccess file that specifies something like "AddHandler cgi-script.html" or you can point people to the directory and respecify the DirectoryIndex.
(2) Now here's the fun part. The script dumps the page to the requester then logs the interesting environment variables set by Apache.

This is all my fault for leaving the kde-devel summary to the last minute.
The network connection manager is meant to do more than just trivially detect whether the line is up or down. It will allow apps to request that the line be brought up or down, and more... It may or may not be implemented with CORBA, but the goal is to make sure KDE and GNOME don't do this in incompatible ways.
The network connection manager will do much more: like letting applications request a connection, bring down the connection, etc. It's exactly that, a network connection *manager*. Please read the list articles for more details.
Not really, it's much lower level than X... Look at this URL for an idea of how low-level. There's an X-server (and other userspace graphics libraries) that runs on top of the framebuffer though.
It's not even for special situations; you'd use it if you want the Linux logo at boot time or find it useful to boot up in 1024x768.
The frame buffer device provides an abstraction for the graphics hardware. It represents the frame buffer of some video hardware and allows application software to access the graphics hardware through a well-defined interface, so the software doesn't need to know anything about the low-level (hardware register) stuff.
The device is accessed through special device nodes, usually located in the /dev directory, i.e./dev/fb*.

They can coexist just fine. Check this link:

True, but I'm only a user on my system, not an admin. :-)

It's also missing any file locking come to think of it, but the general idea is there.
Yeah probably! It's stupid that way though I managed to avoid that myself.

According to the specs, this DVD-RAM drive doesn't even have a digital out. That sucks, even my CDROM drive has this useful feature.
Nah.. the box/connection actually took the load. I just took down the page and sent people to slashmirror.
:)
Thanks, though.
slashmirror, maximum 25 users.
Good idea. What's that?
Can someone else please just mirror this now?

I'm not making this a hyperlink on purpose. If you've seen this site at all, please don't visit this page. PLEASE, PLEASE be very gentle.
Shameless plug: Here's brief, fun article on how nice it is to program with KDE these days.
What's wrong with the themes? Don't forget you also have a choice of widget styles, all of them quite neat:
:)
KDE Step, great NeXT-step style
Marble theme
Qt CDE style
Qt Motif
Qt Platinum (the default, and it's great)
Qt Windows
System the great Mosfet theme.
After KRASH, it's hoped will have more of these.

Yeah this really sucks. Does anyone know of a PNG plugin for Linux Netscape 3.0?
