I think the amount of addresses is cool to think about:
It is 2 to the 128th power which means, 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,45 6 different IP addresses can be assigned. This means that if we set the world population at 10 billion, there is 3.4*10^27 addresses per person, and if assign addresses by land mass, an average of 2.2*10^20 addresses per square centimeter. There is very little chance of addresses running out.
I have removed the logs and emails on the gnap site because they do not show Napster (the company) in very good light. This disision was mine and mine alone. I had a long chat with Napster (the person, the owner of the company) this afternoon, and we worked everything out. Many of the gnome developers had a meeting this afternoon (which I didn't join) with napster about this whole issue, everyone learned alot. After reading these logs I feel alot better too.
It turns out that Napster's (the person) request to have me remove the source code, was a request as a person (which didn't come clear across to me) not as a company. After that I wrote a letter back to them saying I would not remove the source. Then Saterday afternoon Napster (the person) his co-worker (?) nocarrier and I had a chat. To say it bluntly, they were being rude and I was feeling threatened. (I WAS NEVER THREATENED THOUGH)
For about 24 hours the sourcecode was offline, before I decided to email them saying I would not take it off. That was that.
They have no legal case, nor do they want any legal case.
This has all been cleared up hours ago. I will put this on the gnap page.
The article is in correct. Napster is not sueing, is not planning on sueing, ever will sue , or has even ever threatened to sue me. The whole thing has been a massive misunderstanding. (i am the gnap author)
Please let me say that gnap is _NOT_ ready for use by the masses, Its a small hack and _will_ crash and it _will not_ work... For some reason this program is spreading like wildfire because of the whole Napster incident, it is a private release, and is not intended to be used by people yet. I will make an announcement on freshmeat when that time comes:) Just don't send me hate mail for making a shitty client.
There is nothing better then debian when it comes to package management and keeping your system free. Its proably the only reason I don't use fbsd now, I hate ports!
http://shrub.net/~four/images/screenshots/mozilla.jpg well, it doesn't look that nice with themes, cause they hardcoded the buttons.. but here it is took me 2 hours to compile (233mhz) and it crashed when i tried to access slashdot..doesn't look too good on my 800x600 screen.. I'll be sticking with 4.51 for a while yet.
panel is pretty configurable.. i run 800x600 screen resolution.. panel great.. i actualy got rid of the WindowMaker dock and clip altogether. check out this screenshot: http://wWw.ShRuB.nEt/images/screenshots/linux199 90216.jpg
I think its great that sites like this promote free music. If you go download some of that stuff, its actualy alright. From music4free.com i've already purchaced 3 cds from groups around there.
I don't understand how they can have rpm for sparc already.. but no freaking deb packages... I don't want to spend the 14 hours it takes to get all the shit that gnome depends on and compile it.. if they just got the deb packages.. sheet.. i donno

No way.. i think the multi color one looks rad... its like "Yeh we are old school, we know what we are doing" My vote would be bsdi's logo
:P~~ :>

maybe i can get the source from these guys somehow.

So, anyone have screenshots of it yet? maybe using themes ? :D
Anyone know what this means:o me-1.0/debian/README
:D
"Coming RSN!"

I would hate to be the person who maintains the .deb for gnome :)
its got to be a lame job keeping up with these guys
yeh, damnit.. there needs to be more chicks out there that dig cool stuff (like gnome :)
where are they?
Good god, won't they ever mirror this stuff before they announce it? The 0.99.7 tarballs are on the mirrors..they never announced any binarys yet.
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/server/
I think Apple needs support... they are trying very hard to meet the demands of "the people".. I will definitly be purchacing my copy.
Now, wouldn't that be the greatest joke gift?
I proably shouldn't ask this.. but why is there so much hatred against Apple? It just seems people tear it apart because it is there.
GAh! rpm for sparc yet no deb packages yet?! :/
i wonder if redhat labs joining up with gnome has had any effect on whats going on
I was wondering if anyone out there has a IDE CD-R and has been having problems with thier config..
Anyone get it working with 2.2?
I think its great that sites like this promote free music. If you go download some of that stuff, its actualy alright.
From music4free.com i've already purchaced 3 cds from groups around there.
