  1. Re:Half way there on New iPod Checksum Cracked, Linux Supported · · Score: 2, Funny

    Knowing the community, we can likely expect full integration with most (activley maintained) iPod libraries on Linux within the week.

  2. Re:hopefully on New iPod Checksum Cracked, Linux Supported · · Score: 1

    Amarok 2.0 will be using KDE4/Qt4, which is going to be very cross-platform friendly (which means Win and OSX versions with minimal teeth grinding)

  3. Re:What's the draw? on New iPod Checksum Cracked, Linux Supported · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sansa View.
    Launches October, roughly the size/shape of old Nano, 3:4 screen taking most of the face, plays most sane video formats, retains muSD slot, gains SDHC support
    8GB for 150, 16GB for 200

    I believe they have an international firewall (either that, or a government-mandated blocklist handed to the ISPs)), much like China.

    Just because you release programs that run on an open-source system doesn't mean you have to release your source in turn.

  7. Re:Copyright misperceptions on Viacom Yields to YouTuber Who DMCA Counterclaimed · · Score: 1

    Technically, the GPL isin't a EULA. It's a distribution license. EULAs come into effect when you use a program, distribution licenses come into effect when you pass it on to someone else.

  8. Re:Actually on Viacom Yields to YouTuber Who DMCA Counterclaimed · · Score: 1

    Copyright is more/less automatic, but you actually have to own the copyright first (which is not the case in a lot of DMCA invocations)

  9. Re:I don't get it on Compiz Gets Thumbs-Up for Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 3, Informative

    They did quit arguing. Beryl is merging back into compiz as compiz-fusion.

  10. License key? on QNX "Opens" Source Code · · Score: 1

    I've been trying to get the non-commercial key from them for Momentics, but it doesn't seem like they plan on sending it to me anytime soon. Anyone else having any luck?

  11. Re:Stupid question (but I genuinely don't know) on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 1

    Unless you have a station(s) that show "DTV Program" every 30 minutes

    If it becomes necessary, yes it will.

  13. Re:somebody needs to stop... on Anti-Scammers Become Storm Botnet Victims · · Score: 3, Informative

    Storm actually does install updates and checks for viruses on its victims. It just excludes anything that would make life harder on itself.

  14. Great on Server Benchmarking Lone Wolf Bites Intel Again · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Now if they can get their laptop chips to be more efficient than Intel's, I'll be happy again.

  15. Re:MS Paint on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    By real OS, you of course mean *NIX, right? I sincerely hope you don't mean that watered down POS that Apple runs on all its overpriced PC hardware.
    You mean that watered down POS that is a full-on UNIX (and certified as such in Leopard)?
  16. Re:AbiWord FTW on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I know Ubuntu has a GTK-only build of Abiword, and it runs on Windows as well (which for obvious reasons, lacks GNOME)

    Why yes, it actually does. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/

    If it gets to where we would need to cut them off, just have the Tier1s start pulling plugs.

    Wrong troll. Dune was a book first.

    Whenever SDL 1.3 is out, it will get a commercial license option.

  21. Re:How does this help Microsoft? on Microsoft Ties Windows Live Services to OS · · Score: 1

    Now that you've jogged my memory, there is an Office Live. It looks to be more of a collaboration tool for "real" MS-Office, instead of a online office suite in the vein of Google Docs.

  22. Re:Different implications on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 1

    As an FYI, both the 360 and Wii have ATI-developed graphics.

  23. Re:What GNU/Linux gaming area? on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In other words, someone needs to make a convincing (read: easier than DX) interface to OpenGL+SDL, and put it under a commercial-friendly license, and convince people to use it to build X-platform games. Both OpenGL and SDL are very X-platform (outside of OGL, SDL actually uses DX on Windows, Quartz on Mac, and straight Xlib on *nix)

    I read somewhere that at least one officer has been canned over this.

    Nope, that's a completely different "Live". There's Xbox Live, Windows Live, then Games for Windows Live, which is almost exactly XBL for Windows.
