Submission + - Linux K90 - Custom Input Support (github.com)

jupiter126 writes: "After 10 years of intensive use, I decided to get a new keyboard. I choose one of those fancy multimedia keyboard (Corsair k90), in order to have plenty of keys to play with.
I had a 'nice' surprise when upon connecting, I discovered that almost none of the extra keys where supported by xorg (linux). Anyway, smart people check for compatibility before buying, and real man assume their impulsive buying afterwards.
So here we are, one week later, I came up with a little bash script that allows the proper use of the keyboard.
The interesting bit is that this script should be able to handle many more types of keyboards, wiimotes and custom inputs with quite minor adaptations.
The code is open source of course... I hope it helps some :)"

Copyright, Patent, Trademark protection,... the lobbies have associated all counterfeiting problems in order to gather companies as various and important as Nike, Burberry, Electronics Arts, Time Warner,... and many other. A more complete list of SOPA supporters can be found here.

This reasoning is fallacious from the start because it makes no difference between digital and non-digital products:...
