Submitted by united_notions on Thursday March 12, 2009 @05:56AM

united_notions writes: A few hours ahead of the official release time of 12.00 PDT, the release directory for 3.1b3 now exists, but it's still appearing empty. However, if you go to the Beta release webpage page and copy the hyperlink to your beta of choice, then change '3.1b2' in the URL to '3.1b3', hey presto, it loads! The .exe installs ok and the 'About' popup checks out. Enjoy the latest release of FF!

Submission + - English poet's view of copyright infringement 1

Submitted by united_notions on Friday December 28, 2007 @11:09AM

united_notions writes: English poet Wendy Cope has written a piece in the Guardian complaining about her work being copied online, and generally bemoaning people's misunderstanding of copyright law. An especially nice quote:

'A poem is very easy to copy, whereas nobody is going to photocopy or download a whole novel or work of non-fiction.'

Ahem.
