The file-sharing genie is out of the bottle

Scour is Dead

· Score: 1
So what? The file-sharing genie has already been let out. If Napster goes commercial or of Scour goes tits-up, the sighs of relief on the part of record companies will last only as long as it takes someone to write another file-sharing program and post it on the net. The only reason Scour and Napster got a big as they did is that they got alot of press which only increased their popularity, much to the dismay of the record company execs. that shithead Lars Ulrich didn't help their cause any, he just pissed people off and made them want to download more music. Anyway, now the publishers of anything that can be digitized and shared will be forced to play the gopher-game. You know,the one where you whack one on the head and others pop up...
So I ask you this: Why are people who don't bother to read instructions even allowed near a polling place? Doesn't that strike anyone as just a little nuts? That's too much power to give to morons! They're choosing the guy that's going to have his finger on the nuclear button!
If you can't figure something out as simple as follow the arrow to the hole and punch it, what the hell are you doing having ANY part in choosing who becomes the most powerful man on earth, the one who can blow us all into itty bitty pieces? If you're that stupid, you deserve to have Pat Buchannan running your lives.
The only thing AOL is good for are all the free "coasters" they thoughtfully include with computer magazines. Hacking AOL from within? I don't know if I'd care to admit that as it's tanatmount to admitting that I actually used their service............
I bought a naked PC. Told my wholesaler I didn't want an O/S and he didn't include one. I mean I already have copies of all the NT's, 2000's, Win 9x's and a couple of Linux's, as well as Solaris 8 that I have aquired in the process of performing my duties (for evaluation and testing purposes only of course;-)). I don't understand what the big hassle is, I had no trouble stipulating that I didn't want to give MS money for something I didn't want to buy (read pay for) in the first place.
Couple of issues...
1) Isolationism is not necessarily a "disease" in need of "curing" (read corporate brainwashing). I can pick my friends but I can't pick my co-workers, many of which are complete assholes who you wouldn't even slow down for in a crosswalk. Do I really need to be "cured" of not wanting to associate with assholes?
2) There is a huge difference between information and knowledge. I'm not sure I agree that the isolated Namibian tribesman posesses less knowledge than the corporate secretary/bimbo with high-speed internet access. Information yes, but knowledge no.

...It will continue merrily disseminating pirated music using non-napster affiliated servers located in Canada and elswhere...
...So when can we expect to start seeing Bleem 2?

Looks like phrack's phucked off
China is a mind-set. You can't change a mind-set that has been ingrained for thousands of years with the addition of a few bells and whistles.

How about an event where contestants are required to find and fix mangled DLL's in Win9x?
Tell me please...who or what do the programmers of this so-called "evolutionary" computer represent, not to mention the computer's manufacturer?
Bill reads Sun Tsu (know thine enemy). So what?
uh...Windows 2006 or maybe even 2007?
They did manage to piss away half a billion dollars on those useless half-fast catamarans that they are trying to sell now and no-one wants.
...maybe they've got some old "pong" games collecting dust in someone's warehouse that they can put in in place of the ones they take out.
