Are you running the latest Linux X drivers from NVIDIA? Apparently there are known issues with 2D performance when using them, so if you are, you might want to try downgrading to the previous version.
The reason the code is not available under the GPL right now is that the project is not "finished" with regards to my university degree course.
If you signed the same agreement I did when registering at Southampton, then the University owns the copyright to code you produce in the course of your studies. Have you considered that? I'd imagine you'd have to get permission from someone to release it under the GPL?
Just an extra little hint: That's Title 1, Chapter 1. Seems to be where the main feature starts on every DVD I try, but I read somewhere that it's sometimes on Title 2.
Thought some people might be interested that there's an (admittedly less sophisticated) sword fighting game from Konami out in arcades which uses a motion-sensor sword controller. It's called Tsurugi (apparently Blade of Honor is the US). Here's some pics and information from the Magic Box.
Okay, so I do know where the poster got that idea. I don't think the article is very well translated though, it's a bit ambiguous. Sorry, I was too quick to judge/post I guess.
I saw this news reported at The Madman's Cafe and Magic Box, where it was described as an arcade board, based on the Game Cube architecture. I don't really know where the poster got the idea that it is "targeted towards new game consoles". The Madman's Cafe article has links to the (Japanese) press releases from Sega, Namco and Nintendo.
The article write up is a bit demonising and misleading IMHO. These new modchips are the first ones that allow users to play import games, but they're also the first ones which allow you to play copied DVDs (previous ones could only do CD-Rs). Now, I can't be bothered to get into the copyright debate, but it does annoy me that both the mod-makers and the console designers lump import games and copied games together. I don't give a crap about copied games, but the console makers shouldn't make a fuss about their region-locking. If they aren't delivering what I want, and I can get it from the US or Japan then that's their problem. In fact, I'm half-suprised that they can legally attempt all this region-locking stuff.
You need to use lilo or another bootmanager (probably best to use whichever your distro uses) to actually boot the kernel. I'd suggest you look at your distro docs.
Adobe owns the Illustrator name. It's not "Adobe Illustrator", it's "Illustrator".
Actually, I read on the koffice-devel mailing list that they only own Adobe Illustrator but are claiming that the names are confusingly similar. I can't find the message now, but I'm 99% sure it was from the guy who's in the legal trouble.
Somebody takes legal action against you and you have to pay the lawyer? WTF?

Why do open relays matter for anyone except the people operating them? If there were no open relays then spammers would just send direct to recipient's mail servers. Of course, the DUL would like to stop that, but that's a fucking joke if you ask me (an annoying joke too, more than once I've had mail bounced just because I run my own MTA instead of using my ISP's).

The other way is civil disobedience. That's how the civil rights movement won in the 60's. Now, 40 years after, I am sure most people agree that the civil rights movement did the right thing. If they had obeyed the government, U.S would still have been an apartheid state.
This is one of those things that I struggle with a lot. Can't you use the same argument to explain any crime at all, even terrorism? Can the law ever be wrong in a democracy? Can we all just go about and break whichever laws we disagree with? If so, what's the point of having laws at all, seems unfair to just punish those who are unlucky enough to get caught.

See the "subscribe to the newsletter" thing on the sync? It's just an announce list for when an episode is posted. It tends to come a few days before it's posted on/. too (this episode's mail came on Wednesday).
IE has one major feature that Netscape still doesn't even come close to approaching -- an API that can be used to make a custom browser (which is just a shell over the HTML/Script parsing engine that offers most of the functions of a web browser).
WTF is Gecko then? Seems to work pretty well in Galeon.
First target vaguely, then demonize, then let the vigilantes do their work...what is the plan anyway?
What the hell kind of vigilantes do you have where you live? ("Damn, I'm paying an extra thousandth of a penny 'cos of those damn freeloaders, let's go torch their cars")
The people are not always right. If they were right, Hitler wouldn't have been elected, nor would have Neville Chamberlain, nor would Korematsu v US have been decided the way it was.
So there's some absolute notion of what is right and the people sometimes get it wrong? Who gets to decide what is right and what isn't? The answer is that the majority decide, hence democracy.
Peter Hain (a likely future Foreign Minister) was framed for a bank robbery in the 1970's. Feel so confident now about MI5's ability to decide who are the people that are a threat?
From what I can find online about this, Mr Hain believes that South African security services attempted to frame him and he was tried and acquitted.

This has totally made my day, and I don't know either of you. Funny old world...
There's at least two to choose from, which is a nice suprise, here are the subscription based ones I've found so far:
In-Movies, View DVD
It's called RCE (Region Coding Enhancement). The DVD FAQ has some information, as does DVD Talk.

Any notice that there's no mention of Windows Me on that page? I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft starts denying the existance of it pretty soon. :-)

Actually, Macross Plus was an OVA series, then became a video.
Wildly OT but who cares. Actually, OVA (Original Video Animation) means that it was released first on video.
At this point, you're just trolling. Stupidly, too, might I add.
Actually, I'm not, so I won't take that as an insult.
The majority does not decide right and wrong. They decide what to do, and the right or wrong is decided by history.
"History", as you use the word, is just the accepted view of the majority at some point in time after the event.
