The situation in regard of DADVSI has now evolved from fear to hope. During the night between 20th and 21st of December, deputies have passed a bill for a "global license". This bill legalises all peer-to-peer exchange throughout internet providing a reasonable montly fee.
Deputy Marc Le Fur said:
"I have children today aged 14 and 16 for which internet constitutes culture and liberty. They probably download and I am completely unable to control them as I don't understand computer technology as they do. With the current laws, they might be considered as delinquents. Only the global license avoids the risk. For a few euros each month they can have the freedom to download without causing harm to author's rights, as the funds raised will be mutualised and redistributed to the authors.
As it's time now to decide the liberties for the 21st century, let's inspire from Tocqueville for which civil society always prevails. In today's society, for the youth Internet is a space of freedom. Do not restrain their access."
The voting of the bill has been postponed to the next deputy's session (January 17th, 2006).
We dreamed the repressive approach to be abandonned in profit of a complete legalisation, and now it's turned into hope. This is a great expectation for all customers, as they will be able to legally obtain cultural content with a real choice either of the provider and the player, hardware or software.
[There is still a lot of pressure on the government from major's lobbies. For instance Virgin set up a demonstration in the deputy's chamber of how good DRM is, offering free songs - which is considered as bribery regarding French laws.]
The fight is not over, now the 30 most vending French artist and their syndicates and editors are against this P2P legalisation, while a group of 13500 French artists agreed. The petition at EUCD.INFO is still being filled in (with now more than 130.000 signatures), and finally the debate has gone public.
Stay tuned for more news. A good compromise and modern legislation is now a realistic option.
Audioactive Player is a nice, free, simple player with a focus on audio quality.I wonder why it isn't listed on http://fileforum.betanews.com/ ...-dajo (December 26, 2005, 12:18 PM)
brotherS, is there any 2.x download on the official winamp site? Last time I checked, I couldn't find it...Not that I know, but you can find the 2.95 with Google's help-f0dder (December 25, 2005, 10:05 AM)

I would like a program that plays just MP3's (WMA, OGG etc too if anyone wants that) and WM Playlists. I'm sick of having to open up WMP everytime I want to show a song to a friend, or just have a quick song on while I'm checking my emails.I took the liberty of highlighting your main problem here-mush_1337 (December 13, 2005, 06:58 PM)

Edit: IDEA! Put another file, "check.me" on the drive, and only run the backup if it finds that file AND not the other file...I like the idea, this would easily allow several scripts to use it for this kind of detection too!-PhilKC (December 23, 2005, 05:31 PM)
But fits the other discussion we had - Microsoft is SO fast, they are only years behind the competition A lot of word processing programs have a "replace" function where you can replace for, example, all "hello.world" to "hello w." I was wondering if anyone could do a more advanced version of this kind of functionality?I tried to understand why you would need a new tool for this, but I failed
1) not only rename & replace words, but also folders and files
2) ability to replace/rename words only under certain circumstances
a) for example, if i had "hello.world.v1.2", i would want to remove all the periods "." except for the ones between v1.2, so that it would become "hello world v1.2"
3) for renaming, have a special shell extension that lets you rename files and folders with one click instead of two, as with windows explorer?
anyone with other ideas for this little prog can add in, but that's all i can come up with for now. cheers =)

Would you mind to explain? It's tested and IMHO as good as the latest "stable version".If you've got AutoHotkey installed (http://www.autohotkey.com/) then this is pretty simple to do. Copy this little piece of code and save it as MouseAltTab.ahk. Double click it and you've got Alt-Tab functionality with the mousewheel button.Hehe, nice idea! It's a bit tricky to use, but it works!; Mousewheel Alt-Tab
MButton & WheelUp::ShiftAltTab ;Mousewheel click-hold + wheel scroll up equals Shift-Alt-Tab
MButton & WheelDown::AltTab ;Mousewheel click-hold + wheel scroll down equals Alt-Tab
MButton::Mouseclick, Middle ;Pass on plain mousewheel clicks-nilness (November 20, 2005, 12:24 AM)
