When Software Protection is Good For FOSS
(2008-08-03 06:00:02)
Raiden's Realm: "Ultimately the only way to get them to change would be to make it so painful for them to stay, that it's preferable to go to another program and learn it instead, rather than stay and suffer. That's where DRM, activation, software keys, and other anti-consumer technologies are very much the friend of FOSS."

Ultamatix May be a Worthy Successor to Automatix For New Ubuntu and Debian Users
(2008-08-03 14:00:02)
Linux.com: "Some Ubuntu fans out there may remember Automatix, a tool for Ubuntu that allowed easy access to many popular non-free applications and commonly-used audio and video codecs. It debuted a few years ago, and got negative reviews from Ubuntu developers and experienced users due to the risk of breaking dependencies... Now Ultamatix hopes to continue where Automatix left off."

Absolute Nonsense - More Weekend Unix and Linux Levity
(2008-08-03 20:00:02)
The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "Another week has past and it's time to laugh heartily before it all ends in tears ;) This week, I stumbled upon Two sites that had me working overtime trying not to laugh out loud at my desk. Nonsense humor isn't for everyone, but I find it the most enjoyable kind. It's goofy, it's random and once something gets me going I sound like I'm having a massive asthma attack while I'm trying to force myself to not laugh."
