Macromedia to Port Flash MX to Linux? 702
LnxAddct writes "An article on CNet reports that Macromedia will start taking Linux more seriously. It will start this new initiative by making it's suite of tools run easily under WINE, then depending on the response it gets, it will port it's tools natively to Linux! Their Chief Software Architect, Kevin Lynch, stated, 'What we've been investigating is, When will it be time to bring our tools to Linux? I think it might be happening now.' Maybe 2004 will be the year of Linux."

1. Release the source under GPL

So do you claim that all the money my family spent on Disney movies when I was growing up didn't go into lobbying for the Bono Act and the DMCA?

And if you don't like vi, I hear that there's a text editor in emacs.
I've never been able to find it, but I hear it's there.

I find it much more intuitive to remap it to Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift

Well, not quite. It always used to stand for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping. Of course, that was in the days when 8MB was a lot of memory. Nowadays, it seems like half the apps on my machine use that much...
