AOL Pulls Nullsoft's WASTE

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the right-hand-meet-left-hand dept.

dmehus writes "America Online, parent company of Nullsoft, has pulled what it views as a controversial project called WASTE from Nullsoft's servers. This is not the only time it has stepped in to Nullsoft's doings. It had quickly taken down Gnutella, developed by Nullsoft co-founder Justin Frankel, and shut down an MP3 search engine. CNET's News.com has more details." For those not keeping track, WASTE was only recently released.

    The source code to God is essentially released open source. It's called the Bible, and its basically all the content embodied in god except that no human can compile it (yet). I mean after all, without the bible our modern idea of god would not resemble what it does.

    Actually, the Bible was a beta version. The Quran was the official release. Dianetics is the rewrite from scratch.
