Is there any chance you'll get back with Walter Fagen anytime soon for a new Steely Dan album?
So, this company uses your resources to create a large (distributed?) database....
I wonder how we prevent the GraceNote scenario from occurring again?
You mean I won't have to put up with these
ridiculously annoying "tunes" everytime someone
in my office gets called on their mobey?
DAMN!! GUTTED.......
I'd rather keep banner ads that I can configure
than put up with the walk-thru ad pages I'm
starting to see (where a whole page of advertising
is displayed on my way to the URL I just clicked
on).
Trying to ban Napster/shut it down/whatever is the same as trying to ban quadratic equations.
My (fuzzy) point is that once something has been discovered, you can't just pretend that it never happened. This ruling is the biggest piece of burying-head-in-sand ever.
I despair. The stupid record companies are shouting "Hallelujah!", and to me they just look
like luddites (especially that quote about Napster having to do business "the old-fashioned way"!!!)
The BMG thing looked like a good initiative; there must be a way for this all to work. It's all not going to go away just because of a court ruling.

dude, it's REVERSE polish notation. Whatever
thought you had, back it up.
What exactly will it take to allow anyone to
have any name they choose? Why does ICANN wield
the power they do?
Is it all down to/etc/services?
Or is it that the owner of a top-level nameserver machine effectively gets to set the rules?
I know I'm not the first to make this observation,
but for something as decentralized as the web, ICANN and its associated technology appears to be a complete non sequitur.
Slashdot Mirror
and yet it's the only comment in this whole story that made me laugh out loud.
Mmmmmmm...lovely motif widgets.
How exactly was this doom-and-gloom prediction "Insightful"?
We need a new moderator classification:
"predictable bash" or "boring" or "cliche".

"Napster Reporn"
Oooo so close... I'm in Taiwan, could have been a really relevant (first) post...

OK, I found his homepage already!
This is the guy who said "groovy!" in Evil Dead, right?
Is he famous for anything I'd have seen in the UK?
Another Linux release...
means that it's the packet capture utility that's hosed, not the packets. :)
...hardly a good basis for "serious" business. I wonder if it will shake off this stigma.
Big deal. Wake me up when we start talking terahertz .

I wanna see the 8000 servers...
...but only when it needs to synchronize with those components.
Bring it on.
