Links for 02-07-2008

• YouTube - You Suck at Photoshop #1 - This series is pretty funny and even instructive.


• Linux.com :: A GPL requirement could have a chilling effect on derivative distros - Downstream distros apparently need to make all source available--not just for changed packages. As I noted previously, such a requirement could raise issues for anyone providing access to GPLd binaries.


• Linux.com :: The Free Software hardliner, the corporation, and the shotgun wedding - I don't agree with everything here but there are a lot of good points--for example, with respect to plug-in architectures.


• Marginal Revolution: Is Grand Central Station still a focal point? - For some reason, I find this fascinating. Time of day aside, for Cambridge MA there's also an obvious focal point (leaving aside MIT bias--in which case it would be the 77 Mass Ave steps)--the front of the Harvard Coop or Out of Town News across the street.
