Hey, even if he gets out in 6 months, think of this. Odds are this spammer isn't one of those big beefy guys, he is probably a 90-lb weakling. This guy is gonna be traded for a pack of cigarettes. So even if he only serves 6 months, he is still gonna get it in the end.
I would have to say that Starfleet Acadamy was the best Star Trek game ever. It was great for its time and is still nice now. But I grabbed the Elite Force demo, and man, I'm torn between the two. On one hand, Starfleet Acadamny had kick butt ship battles. With Elite Force, you could be The Doctor and blow away Neelix's sorry behind. I just don't know.
I see nothing wrong with MAME. It is a fun way to play those old classics that the big guys (Nintendo, Atari, etc.) have forgotten about. "Abondonware" fits the whole deal nicley. The companies don't make any money off of the machines anymore, so the should allow MAME to live on. If anything, MAME makes people think "Man, that was a good game, I wonder if that company has any more good games". In the end, only good can come out.
You're right, in fact the packet shaper program sounds like a good idea. I was just in a hurry to get the first post(stupid #2 post) that I just skimmed the article.
Now for a decent rant and rave. Napster is being the scapegoat and it will be killed. The lawsuits will prevail and Napster will die. Nobody but the big guys want this, but apparently we don't matter. And most of the reasons for Napster being evil is because it is depriving the bands out of money from lost record sales. If I am correct, record sales have been up since Napster came out on the scene. Thats it for ranting and raving for now though.

I guess they want you to associate Palm with something that causes heart attacks...
Mmmmmm, now thats an OS that runs creamy smooth.

Since when has napster been evil? It may not be 100% right, but it isn't evil. It helped to spread a file format that everybody and there dog now uses
