- Interview with Jeff Moe: BLAG, linux-libre and More
jebba: I did read his message. I follow gNewSense with one eye, but I haven't looked into Gobuntu at all so I don't have much to say there... Though, at a glance, a merge makes sense.

In the future I predict that Linux will be King, long live the King.
- The Wanky World of Windows
Lie #1: Nothing runs on Linux.
Answer #1: All the programs I need run on Linux. Ubuntu even has a ‘Add/Remove’ option in the ‘Applications’ menu. This lists hundreds of available programs you can download and install for Ubuntu. There is also something called ‘Synaptic Package Manager’, where you can install thousands of things. Anyways, the more people that use Linux, the more applications will be available to Linux users.
Lie #2: Linux is for gurus.
Answer #2: Ubuntu is for human beings! I’m not a guru, and I always use Linux.

Hiro's approach is to prevent fast forwarding or rewinding during ads. Furthermore, the ads are dynamically inserted along with pieces of the show that were omitted from the original file. Once the Hiro software has collected these items, the file will play locally for a few days, after which a new set of ads fetched from the server before it can be played again.

Just read it. It's hilarious...
"A SINGAPORE firm has threatened to sue websites that use pictures or graphics to link to another page, claiming it owns the patent for a technology used by millions around the world."
"'Website owners are just upset because they never had to pay for it before,' said Mr Smith.
VueStar will begin enforcing its patent claims in Australia and the US 'soon', he said, and the firm is also working on invoices for Internet heavyweights like Google and Microsoft. "
Hahahhaha
Thank AlexH, because he simply don't care...

It's an insane world. Even the double-click is patented. The smiley too. With the current dysfunctional law, a default Apache installation is a crime.
