ABC Shop DRM and Silverlight

2008-08-08 Thread Christopher Lees
Just a heads-up in case you didn't see the memo from
DefectiveByDesign.org.

The ABC Shop Online now has a section where you can buy DRM'ed downloads
of their shows. Apart from the ethical considerations with DRM, the
software relies on Silverlight and as such you can't even look at
previews on Linux. Mac users can look at the previews but can't buy
downloads.

I'm currently writing to the ABC to complain, if you feel strongly about
this you could write to them too.

The address is www.abc.net.au.

Cheers,


Christopher Lees

Menu Editor for the Application Launcher Menu (widget)

2008-08-08 Thread Peter Williams
Hi Linux Ubuntu folk,

I had been active on the ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com email list --
however, I'm not getting an answer to this issue on there... so I
decided to ask on the Ubuntulinux Yahoo! Group.

2008/8/8 ishwor [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 1) Go to console (ALT+F2 and type xterm)
 2) Type kmenuedit and press enter.

Okay... that works, and I can edit my submenus and menu items. But
only one at a time. And I don't see how to sort them (e.g. it would be
nice to have my submenus and menu items appear alphabetically).

Quoted from my message (below):

I now have 2 questions:

1) How can I make all of my menus and submenus and menu items be
SORTED -- instead of not sorted (which is what they currently are).

2) When I edited the submenus and menu items, I selected each item one
at a time. Is there a way that I can select multiple menu items (e.g.
like holding the control key or using the shift key -- to select more
than just one menu item)

Fond Regards and Best Wishes,
PEW

Thanks for all the help!!! I have followed your instructions (above)
and successfully edited my Menu Launcher(s).

Thank you very much!!! *SMILE*
