National Radio announces that Richard Stallman
is a guest on the Kim Hill programme, Saturday
morning 9th Aug.

Should be interesting, those two together.

Maybe they'll talk about ACTA, or maybe not.

ACTA is also written up in a recent computer magazine,
I'm not sure which one. It sounds quite concerning
for anyone that uses the internet.

Well, it would be interesting if RMS actually made it to the interview.

It is there now ...

But in mp3 format, despite Kim Hill saying they'd put it up as an ogg file
(since ogg is a free libre format).

At 8.15am, Kim advised that he 'no showed'. She said that he does not
have a cell phone as they contain detestable proprietary software.
Hence her producer could not contact him.

YES! RMS has discovered that a telephone is for contacting someone on, not
vica versa

How delightfully ironic that a podcast, read audio, is on a web page. Why
does Firefox, or another broswer have to do this.

isa:// for It is Audio might be another protocol in the making.

Finally, I do not think that mp3 is Open Source Software, and yet this file
is. See above. {

not only mp3 it's also there in asf
http://202.7.7.90/rnz/sat/sat-200808...a?MSWMExt=.asf
Richard stallman will no doubt like that even less :^)

Possibly the inclusion of the OGG format podcast was a list-minute
thing and is waiting for someone who knows how to run the codec to
show up on monday.

you are miskaen http is not a file format, it's how the server
communicates with the clients. there are many things that are not web
pages that are still provided via http.

I can point wget, (or vlc) at that URL and download (or hear) the audio.

if if you save the GPL in word (or MS reader) format it's still the GPL

I didn't see that link when I visited their site.
