Linux is now a bloatware OS. You won't run it productively on a 486 with 16 megs like you could back in 1998. You've got Kay Dee Eee, and as much layering and obfuscation as the egos of a 'Distro creator' can cram in there. It isn't like Slackware anymore.
Wait... emacs is a bloatware editor.
The difference being, of course, that emacs still runs really great on a 486 with 16 megs.
I remember Code Red. I worked at a place that for some reason was a PepsiCo test market. So we had Code Red in the vending machine very early on. I drank a ton of it back then.
The place I worked also had a competent (very competent, the source code for implantable medical devices races around on that network) IT staff. Never heard of whatever 'code red' you are talking about.
I bought an HP50G, but I still can't give up my HP11C because there are just too many things hidden on the new key layout. swap x and y for instance should be right there as one of the single keystrokes. I'd love somebody to tell me 'you dummy, use this key' and have a fix for the problem. Every time I get out the calculator and scan to see what keystroke might work, I get angry. Then I get out the 11C and just use it. But the HP11C is so old that I worry. They're not irreplacable but they cost a fortune on eBay now.
One of the biggest problems with Alg calculators is that the = key is also a 'clear everything' key. Basically there's no stack for intermediate results. Unless you take the extra steps of storing to a 'memory' location.
I actually did delete every file I downloaded once I got the info I needed BTW. Not because I care in the slightest about copyright, but because I don't support patented formats, and hence won't use mp3s.
But you care about building the Public Domain, right?
So after you determined the length of all the albums, you contributed that information back to the net in some form, right?
You probably won't be invited to muck around with the batteries of your next-generation electric car, either.
You're rather the gleeful sort, aren't you?
There is actually quite a bit of info out there about the new battery technologies, and I can easily sample some of the chips, i.e. the multi-channel monitoring chips that track each cell in the battery.
You realize, don't you, that battery is a plural term already?
I looked at the FAQ at the iPodLinux link you gave.
The iPod does not have a FPU (floating point unit) so things like mpg123 won't run too nicely. Integer based versions of MP3 players however are available and will run.
It appears that your iPod will barely, just barely play MP3's after you do this 'conversion.'
It brings to mind the way that NetBSD can be run on some of the earlier PowerBooks. The kernel can be installed and the core system will run. It won't work with the display however. You can log onto your PowerBook over a serial console, using the printer port....
Do people email mp3s to their friends? If my friends did that, I think I'd be annoyed. Large file attachments are bad etiquette under most circumstances.
Sneakernet.
You didn't think people were using all those USB thumb drives to carry around their homework, did you?
Granted, your original assertion challenging the email mention does have merit. Nobody is using email to traffic in music that I know.
I feel that artist support is extremely important and I do not think that an artist should be forced to tour to support their art.
You don't think music performers should have to perform music in order to earn a living? They should be able to hole up somewhere and emit one recording every year or so?
That's not them playing. Its a recording of them playing.
Actually, the conclusion I come away with from the article summary is this:
People are only downloading content that is 'cracked' versions of DRM-laden content.
Apparently the other stuff they don't have to download with anonymous P2P. They're probably getting direct copies from their buddies. Only the 'protected' stuff that's hard to copy needs to come off the 'net.
The P2P network is only needed to traffic in the segment of content that is still protected. The rest is casually copied by actual 'peers' directly, no elaborate P2P infrastructure needed.
The iPad won't become as popular as the iPhone and iPod.
It doesn't fill anywhere nearly as compelling a consumer need.
Not unless 'real paper publishing' gets sucked down the memory hole, that is. And if that happens.... yes, Apple has always been the Best Computer Company. Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania....
Why water soluble? Fill the paintballs with brake fluid. It dissolves paint quickly but is a plausible material have leaking out of a vehicle so doesn't rise as much suspicion as, say, acetone.
The iPhone is an enhanced version of a device that everybody already knows of and has. There was already a place in every customer's life for an iPhone. It simply replaced their older cell phone. The same thing can not be said at all for this thing. It isn't powerful nor versatile enough to replace their computers. It isn't small or portable enough to replace their iPhone.
You just made another general statement, to back up your earlier general statement. Neither has any content in it that pertains to cell coverage in Orlando.
Playing strategic games taught me, that focusing on domestic problems (only), made me always being conquered by barbarians sooner or later.;-)
Yes, but 'strategic games' are simulations. And not necessarily even scientifically valid simulations. Apparently the people who designed the 'strategic games' you play subscribe to the notion that focusing only on domestic problems leads to being conquered. They thought it was a good idea so they incorporated it into the game designs.
Bring some real world experience to the next discussion.
The Japanese have been forbidden from having a military since WW2 and developed many, many consumer achievements.
The Japanese are still, even now, primarily better at copying something and implementing improved processes to do it. The 'stuff' they've excelled at has been primarily the copying of 'stuff' that wouldn't exist if not for the US Military-Industrial-Space Complex doing the hard work beforehand.
Slashdot Mirror
The Breeder reactors were shut down due to political, non-technical, interference.
The Breeder reactors under construction for 20 years have been slowed down due to political, non-technical, interference.
To claim that they aren't 'viable' for technical reasons is.... well, a political move on your part.
But its not in their interest
Well, it's not 1992 anymore. They've gotta have some way to sell a few macs....
There's a big difference.

That has nothing to do with the technical merits and faults of BitTorrent, the topic at hand.
What you mean to say is: "we stole this thread fair and square, you're not gonna take it back."
The topic is DRM Content Driving Availability on P2P Networks.
Actually, the conclusion I come away with from the article summary is this:
People are only downloading content that is 'cracked' versions of DRM-laden content.
Apparently the other stuff they don't have to download with anonymous P2P. They're probably getting direct copies from their buddies. Only the 'protected' stuff that's hard to copy needs to come off the 'net.
The P2P network is only needed to traffic in the segment of content that is still protected. The rest is casually copied by actual 'peers' directly, no elaborate P2P infrastructure needed.
That's just my take.
The killer feature of wireless is that you don't have to drill holes in your walls to have network connectivity in the entire house.
Wait and see. There will probably be a growth industry based around hanging mirrors at corners to transfer and reflect the light.

How do you feel about being the person to pay the funeral bills,
Cremation isn't that expensive. Particularly, road-side cremation is very affordable.
Try it, we'll quickly be at ammo and wars have been fought over less.
Typical on-line strutting behavior.
Believe me, if you fail the driving test, reaching for your ammo won't get you driving privledges.

No, it probably doesn't.
The jury is out, of course.
But the thing is sounding more like a turkey all the time.
You've made your point. In a Cold War Historical Sense he was wrong.
However, that is the in past now.
There really isn't any concrete new definition for First, Second, and Third Worlds. It's an obsolete bracketing now.
You just made another general statement, to back up your earlier general statement. Neither has any content in it that pertains to cell coverage in Orlando.
Well, yes, in the 70's and early 80's some good comedians came out of SNL.
Now, if we could just invent a time machine and go back, you would have a strong point.
