Oracle Gets The Finger

The OpenOffice.org community has disassociated its self from Oracle by creating The Document Foundation. Oracle owns the OpenOffice.org brand so the  newly created foundation has rebranded the product as LibreOffice which will effectively replace OpenOffice.org as the standard office application bundled with most Linux distributions. The greater open source community has responded very positively with Novell, Red Hat and Canonical all expressing their intentions of including LibreOffice in future releases of their respective distributions.


One down, two to go:
OpenOffice.org
Java

Quake3 in HD

Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

“Corporate giants can’t fuck with the link between our art and our clients”, one of the many recycled phrases in Waddy Jones ’ arsenal.

Keeping it real was ironically not his claim to fame, completely redefining his personality to a stereotypical white trash South African reflecting a prominent hardcore sub-culture was what got him there. “Ninja” is probably the only aspect of the zen loving individual that’s been carried through to Die Antwoord .
