I used to have hard lockups with my Radeon 9800 Pro (128mb) and the r300 driver. If you say I can finally use my graphics card in 3D without relying on people that don't give a second thought to restricting the users that buy their products, I am more than pleased.
Nah, this is just another show to get people to feel bad about themselves. TV these days is just about watching people that have more money/talent/life than whoever is watching. I'm just glad I missed the whole "OMG 1TS REAL TV" bandwagon. Meanwhile, i'll just stick to my MythTV box dedicated to SF and other non-"reality" shows.
KEdit in not Emacs ? Surely, you must mean KEINE is not Emacs.
/me ducks
Seriously, I can't believe KEdit needs to map that much librairies. Surely, this must go along with the "KDE is flexible" principle that Linus stated recently, not that it is a bad thing...
Yup, and the world will collapse onto itself because of the discrepancy created within the laws of physics that was caused by the resulting contradictory logic that the MPAA uses.
Seriously, when they do it, it's ok. When somebody else does it, it is a DMCA violation. Ever heard of "fair-use" anyone ?
...they get scared and do what you want them to do. The copyfight will not be won if nobody stands up to the *AA. Getting sued is not that bad, at least you can make a valid point in court instead of simply running like cowards and you get the press for it too.
It's nice to see some of the media actually speak up in an informative way about "Trusted" computing. I think awareness is the way to beat this thing from biting the Free Software/"Open Source" world in the proverbial ass.. Anyway, great article.
I do not think DRM implemented in a free-software way can work. All DRM technologies I have seen rely on encryption and 'security by obscurity' as a basis. The 'security by obscurity' is nescesary to prevent interception of the encryption keys, getting the key is somewhat non-trivial although not impossible.
I do not see how they would avoid key interception besides hardware such as the TCPA hardware (grr). As we have seen, this would only irritate users of digital media. I think they can DReaM on...
We use a web CMS called Xoops for the IT departement intranet. We use a "bug tracker" called xHelp that is integrated with the CMS. Xoops also offers basic project management. It's a no brainer setup, real easy to get started with. For documentation, we use PukiWiki which does the job of organizing useful information. You may also want to look in "tracking" software (refered to as "trackers") which may be of use in your situation. Hope it helped.
Videotron in Canada is one of the biggest cable companies around where I live. They have shared interests with Quebecor/big media, they are known for disclosing customer data to third parties, if you care about your privacy, do not pick this ISP.
Great job guys, your legacy shall be remembered. Hopefully, history will learn that creating barriers to knowledge only leads to trouble. I see FS/OSS as the future, but K&R shall be remebered.
Is it just me or governement imposed bans were meant to be broken ? If im in Australia and i'm an addicted gambler will a ban actually prevent me from gambling ? A ban only makes it harder, but it won't stop the true addicts.
The same has happened before with alchol and OxyContin bans. In the later case, it is relatively easy to get on the street. Is this really helping anyone ? Even the prevention argument seems pretty bleak.
I'm surprised they managed to put so much power in such a small package, I wonder how much heat this thing disipates, as my IBook2 dual usb (500 mhz) PPC can get quite hot. Seems like a cool gadget, but I doubt it has a use in the "real" world besides chick-magnet because it is easier to find a better suited machine for the job, unless carrying around your webserver is your new fethish.
I'm sure the NSA still keeps the most juicy security bugs for itself for "defending" against "cyberterrorism". I am willing to bet they would be willing to use these unvoluntary backdoors to bring down criminal organizations. Hopefully, all this information is in the hands of "good".
Some people have to stop living in the past, it is way too easy to blame your past for violent action. It is important to realise that one can change if he wants to. However, David Suzuki, host of the TV show "The Nature of Things" presented a documentary about violent behavior.
According to this documentary, violent behavior would be developped around the ages of 2 to 6. The key to preventing violent behavior would be in the way you correct children for unsociable behavior. The teenage years would only reflect this early teaching, but since it shows more in this stage of development, video games and movies get too often blamed for this.

In fact, it's swiss cheese without the cheese, just the holes.
Apparently, some people have already been using this technology.
Yeouch, I read that "What about rebroadcast with inmplied[sic] anal consent?"
Ya sure have to watch those precious bodily fluids with the **AA's around.
Media Player just leaked a big puddle on my computer room's floor.
Seriously, this could have been a security patch or whatever. As usual, the headlines are concise as ever.

Aren't they stretching their luck just a bit too far ?
Honestly, don't kid have enough "needs" already ?
That would make a lot of sense, now you just need to convince the politicians ;).
...when you look around the other way, things move in the opposite direction.
Thar she blows !

Real men bet on drinks and not on wee little girly-men dollahs. Listen to me now, believe me later, there is no such thing as global warming...

I saved a whole bunch on my open source insurrance by switching to Geico
I totally agree,you have a valid point, I guess I should not have called it "old news". I guess I should have suggested an article then :)
