If anybody wants to get really angry, I've got some news about Starbucks; if you do an image search for Starbucks, you find that any conversion to bitmap is protected from binary read at the stream buffer level. It is only Starbucks images, and it is obvious that there is protected data in any Starbucks file. Whether this is copyright protection or something more sinister is open to question. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Coles" <d-...@hadrian-way.co.uk> To: "Dorset Linux User Group" <dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk> Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 1:42 PM Subject: [Dorset] Changing the Boot Order with grub2
