  1. Research my friends, Research on FCC Lays Down the Law On Decency · · Score: 2

    I love how they completely slaughtered the lyrics to "Sit on my face" by monty python. A quick google search for +"monty python" +"sit on my face" +"lyrics" reveals the TRUE lyrics. I love the fact that they're going to criticize lyrics that they don't even know the right lyrics to. That amazes me. Who put these numbnuts in control of our air-waves again?

  2. first cpu eh? on Ted Hoff Talks About The Invention Of The Intel 4004 · · Score: 1

    I think you mean first single chip cpu : )

  3. Code Reuse on The Object Oriented Hype · · Score: 1

    I've done quite a bit of C++ programing and never once in my life have I reused code through inheritance - it's actually more cumbersome to do it that way.

  4. Back to your roots on New P2P tool Using... IRC? [UPDATED] · · Score: 2
    Shouldn't this be expected? With universities banning napster, Scour closed, CuteMX sucking, Gnutella toasted by modem users, many people who have been in the market of exchange since the early 90s went back to IRC chat channels for file exchange. The plague of pirates that once flooded the effnet network let up a bit when there were other, simpler alternatives (which didn't have a 40:1 ul:dl ratio). When their alternatives were taken away, what, they stopped what they were doing and found something else to do? No, they went back where they came from, but now they are spread across more networks and Dalnet has a bigger community. So it really shouldn't surprise us very much that IRC is the choice of programs for fileswappers.

    Regardless, it sounds like a good idea. But IRC servers are fragile things. Look at the dal-net network, and watch it's servers go up and down, up and down. Netsplit here, server crash there, services toasted for another 13 hours, and four thousand random messages from 12 year olds pushing porn down your throat. The problems of speed and stability faced by Gnutella may not be completely solved as it may seem, unless someone feels like shelling out some serious cash and setting up some slashdotable servers on irc.

  5. Microsoft Supporting Open Source on Copyrant · · Score: 1

    The more I read articles like this the more and more I'm pushed into the open source community. I'll confess that I run windows 2000 on one of my computers, but the way they are moving is ridiculous. If something such as this does eventually show up, I have a feeling I'm not the only one who will fall over to the linux and open source software community.....

  6. Re:Why Not Use Credit Cards over the Net? on MSNBC: Stealing Credit Card Numbers Online is Easy · · Score: 1

    it's a relatively unknown fact that more credit card theft occurs when you use the plastic in a store than it does when you ship the number over the internet. As far as the CDUniverse crack is concerned, that's the fault of CDUniverse for not protecting themselves enough, and it looks like that problem isn't going away. INTERNET IS AN UNSAFE PLACE TO BUY!
