75% of my collection came from #cablemp3 on IRC. Try an injunction on that, biatch. These articles keep quoting that survey about declining music sales. Didn't that study also show that cd sales declined even more around colleges that had banned Napster. Selective statistics should be thrown out.
I suppose that this is the right time to do it. All the college kids lost thier high speed lines. They won't get the huge backlash that they would of if it were mid school year.
This sounds alot like what is portrayed in Henry Gibson's NeuroMancer. Awesome book. Talks about intelligent security programs that are hugely complex and adjust to the attack.
I think that most EULA's are damn scary, They remove all liabilty of damage from the manufacturer. Say a know glitch in the software eats your business up. All data is corrupt. They knew about it, but are they liable. Um. NO. But if you want to use the latest and greatest, you need to Click to accept.
I had several people notify me that i was sending them spam from unknown accounts. It eventually stopped. But it is still a huge frickin pain. Definately deserves the chair for that one.
After being on the cover of Newsweek, Napster must have the idea that lawsuits are the best form of publicity. 50 bucks and you get your name on all the online news sights. Sounds like a helluva deal. Fire the PR and Marketing departments and just invest in lawyers.
There is a crucial need for be able to keep to yourself, with all the ads that do tracking now. I don't want to live in the world where every time you visit a sight you get a call at home from a salesman, or every time you download a file you get someone sending you and email that offer the full featured version of that software for the low-low price of 29.95 + shipping. Sounds like a little too much of a marketing wet dream for me.
Yes, but netscape also makes internet servers. Which they charge for. Sure Microsoft make IIS. But that is given away with NT. So they could split that off of the OS and put it with the IE group. But they will still not have a product to SELL. Just give away.
It is known that a cluster can be put together for a relative low cost. At least when compared to supercomputers. Do you see cost as a reason this magnitude of computing power hasn't been available to much of the commercial region? Do you think that these current successful low-cost implementations will speed development of any commercial applications for tools such as these? And what commercial situation(s), if any, do you see a cluster being applied to?
That is so true. I have all the new games out. They all wear thin after a couple weeks. The last game i bought was perfect general 2. I had to find it on Ebay since the company has gone out of business. It was released in '94. Graphics aren't 3d accelerated or anything. If there isn't a market for simple creative games, how the hell did Gameboy survive this long. The old-school games are what most of us grew up on and still love.
So if the game is out of print and the company is no longer in business, is it still piracy if you copy the game? Kindof like, "if a tree falls in the woods..."
It is complete legal garbage such as this that turns my stomach. Tell me how on earth Bank of America was negatively effected by this sight. Did it offer a link to the bank of america sight and say something negative about it. It is basically a "Wierd Al" song for the internet. This truly make me sick.
In the business that i work for, i setup about 75 machines a year. I make damn sure that i don't install the little office freak on any of those. It angers me when i have to click "Start working by myself" when i try to create a new document.
I can just see Janet Reno, hyped on Jolt, sitting in front of a 21" monitor for 37 hours straight. This will be another way that the corporate politics of the US will effect the internet. Anytime the US gets involved in a legal way in the internet, the corporate weasels find a way to screw over the average person.
I think that AI will have a limited use. Basically controlling content that people want to see,i.e filters. Also i suppose that marketing depts. could further customize ads and offers for surfers.
I work at a school. It is myself and my boss that do the tech work. Computers, phones, tv. We pretty much handle it all. 350 teachers, 2200 students, 50 Staff. So 2600 accounts and 500 nodes. If there were anymore nodes we would probably add another person. Or try to anyway.
You gotta wonder how these companies can reach a settlement, but they claim not to have broken the law, and don't have to repay anything. Sucks for consumers.
Laptops seem to be everyones solution for computers these days. 1. For a decent laptop, (not some little WinCE machine) you can expect to shell out 2000. We just bought a school full of Dells for 1000 a piece. Advantage desktop 2. Not many schools are equiped to service laptops. So if a kids decides to leave it outside in the rain. Bam 2 weeks in the shop. And warranties for laptops are often a year vs. a standard 3 for desktops. 3. Say you put modems in these machines. Who's to say that these kids in middle school and high school aren't sitting at home looking at pr0n all night. Since that is a school computer, the school can still be held responsible for what the machine is used for. In the district where i am a tech, this has come up many times. It seems that it is just the next bandwagon for people to jump on. "Let's look better than the district down the road. See our schools are better, we spend a million a year to give kids machines that they use as toys."
It all depends on the location that you start looking for a job. I graduated in a city of 60000 that had 3 colleges turning out Comp. Sci. grads. Needless to say the labor market was tight there. But in larger cities, i think that all you have to do is look and you will find an IT position that is waiting to be filled.
I think that you should definately keep the name. If you have use for it. No one can attack you for selling something that you bought out of good faith. God help us all if lawsuits are the prefered way to get a good domain name.

Now i can tap into my work OC3 from home. Definately have to look into this one.

That's the one that is in the "Girlfriend" video by Matthew Sweet. Awesome movie.
