An Esurient Trollop

As I have promised upon the release of Mac OS X 10.5, here is a patched version of Ventrilo for all us Mac users to download and enjoy!

This version actually works and took me all of 10-minutes to fix. I have posted instructions for the Ventrilo developers in the past on how to fix this problem, but instead they prefer to threaten me with legal action.

Download: <Link Removed>

EDIT: You should probably download and install Ventrilo first, as I am unsure as to whether it installs anything to other locations on the drive.

Simply delete the original install and move my patched version over to the applications folder afterwards.

Enjoy!

The above is the HD-DVD Processing Key for most movies released so far. I was not aware that a string of numbers and letters was copyrightable. Perhaps its just my ignorance but it seems that someone is abusing the DMCA again.

This means the (admittedly long) number is precisely the key you need in order to decrypt and watch HD-DVD movies in Linux (oh, okay, maybe software is also required). And the fact that it’s out there, spreading like wildfire, is killing the types at the movie studios right now.
