A friend and I were writing a program for our semester long college project. It was supposed to be a file manager that worked on both Linux and Windows. The night before our presentation, I found that in Linux wxWidgets had a bug where widgets wouldn't automatically resize when the window did. The quick and dirty fix was to lock the window size when running in Linux and only demonstrate window resizing while running in Windows.
I was actually thinking this exact same thing a few days ago. I've had to restart Half-Life 2 a few times because I've been too lazy to look for the save files. It would definitely be something that'd be would sell me on Steam a bit more.
Sorry, I guess that was a bit unclear. According to the article Walmart sells edited copies of albums. Just curious if this is just in the States or for us in the Arctic playgrounds too.
Is the music censored in Canada as well? I can't remember that last time I bought a CD there so I can't say for sure, but I think I have bought CD's with the "Parental Advisory" notice on it.
I don't think that lawyer fully understood the requirements of the GPL. (I'm no lawyer, so anyone correct me if I'm wrong).
From what I understand if you distribute the product then the source code from any product that's a derivative work of a GPLed product has to be available. That doesn't mean that if you modify something for internal use you have to tell the whole world that you change it and hand out the code. As long as it's still just internal you can keep it "closed" from the outside world.
As for anything compiled with GCC having to be licensed under the GPL, that's just a load of bull. Anything compiled with GCC is not considered a derviative work, it's a separate product. You can license it however you want.

Don't you have to be a citizen in order to be charged with treason?

No its not. The Xbox 360 had that same game back in March.
Correct, and apparently people two weeks before the price cut and still have the receipt get the full $200.
