11.06 | KDE on '24'
On 28th October 2003, Fox started boardcasting '24' series three. It seems that in the aim to improve security, CTU (the Counter Terrorist Unit) have switched operating system from MacOS. At the bottom, the KDE task bar can be seen clearly. It is a sign of the increasing use of GNU/Linux desktops that they are starting to appear in other mediums (KDE was apparantly also seen in Alias).
Master weblogger Jason Kottke supplies this excellent link about the techie side of CTU and how this relates to copyright. Is this fair use or have the programme makers violated terms of the software's GPL?
It doesn't give out much in the way of plot pointers, so UK viewers can feel free to click away.
