  1. ABOUT COMPILING on Free Realtime Video Editing for Linux · · Score: 1

    I happen to have the same problem when compiling their mpeg-movie-1.6.tar.gz set of MPEG utilities:
    missing a lot of header files in /usr/include/ and so on.

    Anyone clueful about this ?

    I'm working with the Mandrake 6.1. Perhaps it will work with a Slackware or some other distro ?

  2. Re:Look around?? This is an ERP framework on Open Source E-Business Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Yes Linux-Kontor uses Java and seems promising, but as far as I recall it is basically meant as a free ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system à la SAP R/3, not an e-com system (although I'm sure e-com extensions would be quite trivial to add).

    Definitely a project to check from time to time if you're in the B2B & ERP business.

    Just my 0.018 Euros

  3. A browser with cookie filtering capabilities on Amazon.com Receives Patent for 1-Click Shopping · · Score: 1

    You got the killer browser-app !


    Anyone feeling like writing an open source Web browser (or a plugin) that allows time-based denying or allowing of cookies, possibly with "ANN or GA-based adaptive cookie filtering" schemes, etc. - should patent that one ;-)) ?

    See it on freshmeat !?

  4. Let's do the same for Internet business models on US and UK May Ban Human Gene Patents · · Score: 1

    Probably slightly off-topic - sorry for that - but same sort of origins and serious long-term implications: Shouldn't the business models on which Internet companies are based, be free for every entrepreneur to adopt ? Instead, there seems to be a race among the successful dotcoms to patent the business model that made their wealth. A few examples: Jay Walker patented the "name-your-price" model, base for Priceline.com's success. USA.net, who offers free email on the Net, patented their email filtering and tracking system. Etc. In the US, 165 Internet-related patents were filed in 1995, 648 in 97, 2193 in 98 .. and an estimated 2800 in 1999 ! With that number of Internet patents filed each year it will be increasingly difficult to include a function in a Web site ! How be sure that you don't infringe some existing patent with the function you plan to use for your Web site ?

  5. Any way non-US residents can participate ? on Andover.Net Files for IPO · · Score: 1

    Speaking of non-US resident, does anyone know ways a non-US resident can participate in that kind of IPO's ? We European Linuxers don't want to miss too much of those Linux/opensource-related IPO's any longer !
