If you want wmv playing under kaffeine, I'm guessing that installing libxine1-ffmpeg would fix it.
For Ubuntu users, if you want to get stuff working in gstreamer (i.e. for totem), you might want to install w32codecs or w64codecs (found in medibuntu), gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg, and gstreamer-0.10-pitfdll (this last one provides support for the w32codecs DLLs), along with ubuntu-restricted-extras.
The GPL probably only prohibits the removal of copyright notices from the GPL licensed work, without caring what you do with the other works, even if they're distributed in the same file.
wtf, zonk, you're supposed to be editing before you post. freegamer.net is obviously not an open source games blog. I think the submitter meant to link to http://freegamer.blogspot.com/. I have no clue how someone could screw that up though.
For everyone of you, there's one of me. Working for a startup, working long but not terrible hours getting paid six figures to write bleeding edge software and actually enjoying it.
The ratio is probably much more than 1:1, unfortunately..
I vaguely remember hearing about at least one company working with TransGaming, but I would like it even more if someone happened to respond directly to the wine community at some point, because that would be a bigger step in the right direction.
Who modded parent insightful? This isn't a rumour, read the articles, AMD has committed to releasing specs, and a 2D reference driver. Someone else is going to have to use the specs to produce a proper driver, but this is really good news, and totally not a rumour.
Firefox in kiosk mode, configured as your X session (i.e. the app that is executed by X when it starts up), on an X server that is reloaded automatically, with all the VTs disabled, is apparently pretty bulletproof in practice.
Part of the delta is inlined in the article, and at some of the files are licensed solely under a BSD style license, so yes, this is a compatibility issue. In these cases, the license itself states that its text must be left intact in the file, so no sane interpretation of the terms could rationalize removing it.
In the first patch stanza, a permission blurb that makes no mention of the GPL is replaced, and the copyright holder is not Jiri Slaby (i.e. he is removing the license blurb from someone else's code). Also, even with the code that is dual licensed, I don't think it's ok to remove the license specification (one would simply leave it in). IANAL, but it seems that in the case where half a file is new code, the author should add more description saying that some of the code in the file is BSD licensed, but there's a substantial amount of code licensed only under the GPL. Then the binary distribution of the model can be under the GPL, assuming that it still follows the BSD license. The mistake being made here is thinking that two licenses being compatible means that one of them doesn't have to be honoured. Compatible means that both can (and should, in this case) be honoured at the same time.
It sounds like you're talking about patents - the original point of copyright was to give publishers a monopoly in exchange for their co-operation in censorship. Then it seems that when there was no longer any point in that, cheaper books started flooding into England from other countries, and politicians bowed to lobbying by enacting copyright laws.
Perpetual copyright is stealing from future artists.
That's for the cargo version of the plane. Note that your article states that Airbus had diverted resources to work on the passenger version of the plane, which is the subject of the current article.
The second choice is, of course, for the government to spin off what amounts to a non-profit corporation to manage the infrastructure and write it into their charter that they can never post a profit. That forces all income to go towards improving the infrastructure or go back to the customers.
Technically, the money can also go toward paying certain employees gratuitous amounts of money, if there isn't enough oversight.
Aren't there enough mobile phones in existence that they could be hacked and turned into an open mesh network? Free communications for everyone? That would be an interesting start.
Unfortunately, if it can't be done in software, then it's not at all feasible on a large scale, and I'm guessing that can't be done in software. Plus, I don't think a p2p mesh of cell phones would be enough to enable wireless communications at the quality of cell phone networks. One still needs a way to connect the network to the PSTN, and it has to have enough bandwidth to carry phone calls.
I think it would make a bigger difference if cell phone base stations could be shared freely in the same way that 802.11x access points are shared today(intentionally or not). Unfortunately, it seems that in some places (the UK, for example), law enforcement thinks that it's their job to police "unauthorised" use of wireless access points. Imagine the same people trying to wrap their heads around the benefits of democratizing cellular networks?
Have you tried upgrading those systems? or have you looked at the source code? Apparently it does things like kill dpkg indiscriminately before installing something, rather than actually handling the error. This isn't the first time I've heard people rant about automatix.

The latter - I know WoW works fine in wine.
You don't seem to realize how much effort goes into securing consoles against 3rd party software being run. See http://events.ccc.de/congress/2005/fahrplan/events /559.en.html - there's a video you can search for on google video as well.

Do you have a citation for this?

seriously, "Get the Facts about Microsoft" would be the perfect title for such a site.

Amen, mod parent up.

Copyright infringement is not theft, it's copyright infringement.

I've gotten Opera out of the add/remove utility before, but I couldn't tell you exactly how I did it.
If you put the two of them together though, it's possible that the blame all lies with the $2M, if the company would have survived otherwise.
The Osborne computer thing was a myth, they went down for other reasons.. see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/20/no_osborne _effect_at_osborne/
