I suspect some future versions of file systems will take this approach too, using "links" to store the apparent copies without the user having to do that explicitly.
Oh my. That's nearly as brilliant as the tv commercial from SpecSavers, who have invented stickers with the price of the glasses printed on them, so you can immediately see how much the items costs! Imagine how this invention will revolutinize the retail sector!
That 8888 Idea Book was the best Lego publication EVAR. Those programmable machines (the big tracked vehicle and the graphing machine) were the coolest Lego mechanisms. I had no idea who came up with the idea, until now, though:-)

Like a Slashdotter says in his sig: "IANAL, but I write like a drunk one."
If Microsoft were to reduce copyright terms (boy, Disney would get mad!), it would mean the older Linux versions would become public domain, which means they might get proprietary forks.
I don't think Disney would actually have much to fear from the old Mickey Mouse cartoons going into the public domain, because anyone who were to copy or modify those cartoons, would still be in murky legal waters considering trademark infringement (as all the well-known Disney characters are of course also trademarks).
Well, I figured out that interpreting this important clue as to the real location of the Grail would be better left as an exercise for the reader... in Japan!
I know, but it's their misquote. Either they figure that if you distribute the codec on a machine readable medium, it'll probably be a CD-ROM or better, and unless you fill the rest with Xvid media, there's no reason to be cheap and not put the sources on it as well, or they think a bit less subtle than the GPL is written.
Can I distribute your codec along with some of my own videos on CD-ROM?
XVID is under GPL license, which means you can distribute it freely, e.g. on a CD-ROM or whatever form you like.
However, if you distribute XVID in binary form, you have to add the source code to the CD-ROM, too.
Because your email server (i.e. the one on which your account is located) adds to the headers the location of the machine it got the mail from.
So zombiexp43964.dsl.bigisp.com might send out an email claiming to be from paypal.com, but the email server at e.g. myrealbox.com adds to the headers of the message the fact that it came from zombiexp43964.dsl.bigisp.com.
Actually, on my TNT2 card, if I use the open source nv driver, I get a crap framerate when playing movies fullscreen, but if I use the closed source nvidia driver, I get a good framerate.
Yet another reason I prefer Stargate SG-1 over any Star Trek series. Both Richard Dean Anderson the actor and Coloner Jack O'Neill the character are from Minnesota (they also both like The Simpsons, which is very funny if you think about it):-P

Hate to burst your bubble, but harddrives have a small breathing hole on their cases, which must be kept unobstructed.

How about Xvid?

Why was this modded redundant? The AC is trying to make a point by making a duplicate comment, instead of the frequent duplicate articles.
Sure, it's not the best joke/point in the world, but I don't think it deserves to be modded down. I think the mod in question just didn't get it.
Well, the Orcs [Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, etc.] might encourage some of them to vote for the Green Party ;-]
Orcs are good for the environment!

So the difference is not just 3D support.
If you were to browse at -1, you'd find lots of links to images that make you sick.

Yeah, that smoking hole in their server room doesn't look like an optical illusion...

Well, at least it's unlikely that Linux will be affected by this patent ;-]
