How can I tell if this image is copy-righted?
Is it ok to use for personal use?
Edit: Oppps! reduced pic to get it accepted by forum and it got fuzzy.
I busted my wrist this week and working the mouse and my brain backward and left-handed.

Hi, Sky Aisling.

starhawk is right. If the magazine editors had not wanted us to enjoy the article and the photograph, they wouln't have published the information in the first place.
I was a researcher for a musical publishing company many years ago, and this is what I remember of the basics of the Copyright Act, as it applies to the general public:
It is always ok for you to use a photograph (or poem, or song, etc.) for personal use, or to show it to your friends (or to fellow puppyists, as is the case here) for mutual enjoyment, provided that you mention the author. It would NOT be ok for you to try to sell it as if it were your own, or to make any type of profit from the use of the art product without the consent of the original photographer (or writer, or composer, etc.), and without sharing that profit with him/her.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's the essential part of it.)
I hope that helps to clarify things. BFN.

Oldy but goody pendrive that was lost and now found
Found this put away in a drawer by the wife and forgot about.
I booted it Live (I don't even remember what the save file was made on, it has been so long). Inserted it in my eeepc 900 and hooked up wireless. Kicked in
Firefox 3.6.3 and went to Youtube with Flash 10.2. No problemos.
MyWolfe certainly knew how to make a rock solid distro.

Hi, rokytnji.
You're showing the backdrop of MyWolfe 28 with XFCE
as wm.
Yeah, tough luck for us that GrumpyWolfe had to sort
of retire due to health concerns.
His MyWolfe 8 was my production distro for a couple
of years, and then his v. 21: wow, what stability and
ease of use!
Cheers.

If you mean the Malys-UniBlue icons in my desk screenshot, no they don't -- that is no longer necessary for the latest editions of Puppy, which will enclose drive icons in green squares when mounted (the X sign at the corner is for unmounting). I guess that'd be good for more eye-candy.greengeek wrote:Ooooh, nice icons! Do the "usb disk" icons change colour when mounted?

Answer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mywolfe ... o/download
Yep, GrumpyWolfe's work can be found on sourceforge.net.
V. 21 and v. 22 were the last ones he officially released with jwm as window manager. AFAIK, v.22 is very like v.21, but with OpenOffice 3 included.
Regards.

I found this lovely picture here in the Guardian today (UK edition) and just had to make it into a wallpaper

Thanks for sharing that Bert! Frogs used to be so very plentiful around here but have become a true rarity today. About all they can figure out is that it's due to the thinning ozone layer here in the Northern Hemisphere ( i.e. "they've become our canary in the mines" so to speak ). Sad really. Used to be on a warm summer's night one could go into the backyard - even here in the city! - and hear the deafening croaking of the frogs, the chirping of the crickets, droning of assorted insects... and now? Now it's so silent at night one can nearly hear the blood coursing through their veins!
Perhaps our own days are numbered as a species?
At any rate, sorry for becoming so morose. Thanks once again for having shared such a delightful wallpaper Bert! I've already placed it upon my Raring-Pup desktop!
Cheers/Amicalement,

@Eyes-Only -- down here in NC, things are noisier we've got other problems, but the crickets, cicadas, and tree frogs all make quite a racket if we can make this state a little nicer, rather than this rowdy crowd trying to haul us kicking-and-screaming backwards whether we like it or not... maybe you could try things down here. One thing we can't fix fast, though: it's warmer!
[politicsandreligion] why is it that some people can't see that imposing their morals and values on others --who quite clearly don't want them-- is wrong??? I hope I don't offend people by saying, if that's what their Book tells them to do, I don't want to read it. That's a supremely bad example they're teaching -- and I bet if I say that to them they'll just hit me with fear and anger and hate... as if it's all they know... so sad. C'mon folks, humanity can be a lot better than THAT. [/politicsandreligion]
