I was merely making the point that someone HAS made a free codec and given it away for free. (hence why I quoted that passage)
and btw, I wouldn't buy an "mp3" player that doesn't support ogg. What good is a portable media player that can't play my music collection? I got sick of dealing with mp3's a long time ago. You can start laughing now.
If you want to read this article, just hit the print button, it's impossible any other way (two people missed rPath:P ). Plus the author must have missed it, cus there's actually 10 companies.
rPath
rBuilder, an open source platform that includes a tailored version of Linux to create preconfigured, pretested application appliances that can be downloaded and deployed by enterprise users in minutes.
I just wanted to know what the companies did. So here it is (company name followed by "What does the company offer?")
Cleversafe
The Linux File System, which lets Linux computers store information on a dispersed storage grid called the Cleversafe Research Storage Grid. The company plans to offer commercial dispersed-data storage services and software.
Digium
Asterisk, the industry's first open source PBX, and Asterisk Business Edition, a professional grade version of the software.
Hyperic
Hyperic HQ, an open source platform for managing heterogeneous IT environments, including operating systems and Web, application, database, middleware, and virtualization technology. The company also provides subscription-based services and support, as well as advanced features.
Optaros
Consulting and systems integration services focused on open source softwar
Qlusters
OpenQRM, an open source systems management platform.
Sahana
A secure Web portal that includes applications used to coordinate and collaborate during relief efforts following disasters.
WSO2
Tungsten, an Apache-based open source application server built from the ground up to handle Web services. The company is planning to roll out a line of Web-services-focused, Apache-based middleware, with its Titanium Enterprise Service Bus due for release soon.
Zenoss
Open source network and systems-monitoring software.
Zmanda
A commercial version of the open source AMANDA (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) backup utility software, as well as services and support for the software.

I believe you've missed the point. It's not the justification (improve writing style or having fun) that matters. It's that a company is needlessly alientating their audience by sending cease-and-desist letters to these girls. That's the real point. Whether the company is within their legal rights is another completely irrelevant point.
This is just a summary of yesterday's post. It's been edited a little, so it's mildly different than browsing at +5. But more importantly, it lets people comment on it again. That's why I like it.
You, sir, are part of the mass of people here who don't understand the purpose for backslash. I'd give you a couple, but I don't want to be modded redundant. What I don't understand is why you're in the comments section of this article.
And just so you know, I'm here because comments to backslashes tend to be more interesting than the knee-jerk reactions from the previous day.
Perhaps, but that's not the point of view I'm looking at this from right now. If it was completely a matter of freedom, right now, what would you choose?
There are people who choose the best tool. There are also people who choose freedom, period. I used to think I was one of the latter, but now I'm not so sure.
For the linux fanboys (like me), here's the question to let you decide.
If the positions were reversed, gnu/linux was proprietary and windows was free, which would you choose? I don't know if I could deal with windows.
Student loans tend to have an insanely low interest rate.
There is no reason to pay them off any faster than required, even if you have the money.
If you don't wnat to be shackled by it, you should try to have enough money to pay it off whenever you want, but that doesn't mean you should, pay it off.
Are you really splitting hairs over mean and median?
The word average, btw is a fuzzy term which could stand for any of a number of ways of calculating a representative value for a data set. But I'm sure you learned all about means, medians, and modes, in your elementary statistics course.
yeah...that's more or less what happened to me. They did a routine player wipe before introducing a bunch of new features in the MUD I was playing. I got pissed off enough to quit. It worked for me, but I wouldn't recommend it in general. I don't really think I could have been classified as addicted (though it did consume me for about a semester).

Troll? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day! :)
1. Create crappy song with Creative Commons License ...
2. Get Microsoft to force user to violate license
3.
4. PROFIT!!!!!!
Sometimes step 3 is easy to imagine.
But does it run linux?
I remapped capslock to backspace and my left pinky now has a purpose.
so what happens after someone steals your fingerprint hash?

Then go and make another codec that can compete with the commercial versions that prevail on the open market and give it away for free.
kind of like this?

just make it available and don't worry about it being abused. In college it's your own fault if you fail because of procrastination.
The security of XP would encourage me to sell it.

wow, an unmodded score of -1. Now that is impressive.
you're thinking of slashback, not backslash.

There's more probability of that if the graphics automatically upgrade on new hardware. It would make the graphics less of a selling point.
In my client I change
vncviewer the.host.org:0
to
vncviewer -via the.host.org localhost:0
well, I add compression onto the forwarding implied throught the via flag by adding
export VNC_VIA_CMD='/usr/bin/ssh -f -o Compression=yes -L "%L":"%H":"%R" "%G" sleep 20'
to my bashrc.
It doesn't get much easier than that, well unless you're allergic to the command line.
Did you hit preview before submit?
