The RIAA themselves is guilty of seeding P2P networks with null files that share names with copywritten material. Who's to know if the eminem you downloaded is a song, or whitenoise?
If the game involved raping and killing three year olds, yet won GAME OF THE YEAR by pretty much every video game magazine, like Grand Theft Auto did, I wouldn't see a problem with it on the market, I would just feel dissasociated with my fellow man, though I do already. Do kids want to play GTA 3 because you can have sex with prostitutes and then kill them, or because everything they read and see is praising its name? I believe it's an issue of marketability. That will limit the gore of games. As seen with BMX XXX there isnt a huge market for porn. People like porn, people like games, people don't like porn in games. The market will limit anything that isnt commercially viable. So to answer your comment, a game where you killed and raped 3 year olds, i wouldnt think that would be commercially viable, but if it won game of the year, to each their own.
I'm no programmer, but I'd say its damn time for an email client that links to a P2P spam classification network. Only 95% verbose matches would be moved to your trash can. And if it displayed headers without you having to jump through some hoops it'd be nice, that and real-time spell check. (al la outlook)
Does it scour the internet? I post my essays and essay parts in some bulletin boards and websites. Does this mean that, upon finding my text online, it would flag me?
Lets hope not.. thats garbage. I cant get to their site; its/.ed (there *ARE* some good things in the world)
@Home is now capped at 15KB up, which is 128Kb, yes, very good. Support promised me that it would be up to 128KB when they changed over. 15KB doesnt not allow me to work from home. I upload uncompressed videos or targa sequences; large files. I used to get about 5KB on my modem (with modem compression) So I said this is like a few modems, Ill try to be more quantitative next time, but look at where that got me with the kilobit/byte thing?!
As for usenet, I like to view others animation and files on usenet. Its not as much the cap, its that they are capping it. I dont like any change in TOS that gives me less room to stretch. 3gb in 3 days today, 3gb a month tommorow.
Its really off to bash Apple over the events of late. After all it is Motorola who renegged on their end of the bargain AND released the flawed processors. Apple has no control over Motorola or IBM. The PowerPC line is not Apple exclusive.
Motorola is having so much trouble because they are concentrating their efforts elsewhere. This apple thing has kind of blown up in their face. After all, a year or so ago when they were having their IBM difficulties Apple didn't look too promising (or too productive). Right now Motorola is farming out G4 production/testing to AMD whom they helped on a 'lil chip earlier.
Apple just wants to push ahead, unfortunately the petal is to the metal. All machines have a maximum attainable speed (right?). Even corporate ones. But that said, the G4 was released before anyone thought it would be. (Even I thought it would be MacWorld SF in Jan.).
