What I would really like to know from both companies, is where the opensource variants of their ad software can be found? Is there software out there that I can use for my own site like this? To let the people who actually use the site become advertisers on the site which in turn will pay for the site?
I bought a 200$ item from a person in PENN. 4 other people bought similar items. I waited 30 days from auction end. Then I got their phone number through ebay, called their house, left messages daily for a week and then twice daily for the next two weeks. For the last week I to0ld them each day that on the 60th day I would be forced to file a claim with the post office for mail fraus, with ebay for fraud, and with ebay's insurer. They finally replied and sent out my item. When I got it it was damaged from shipping. Rather than go through the crap of returning it (it is still worth a little more than my $200) I cleaned it up and repaired it.
Moral: all big ticket items should go through an escrow service. Not just person to person.
you could save a quick start file which was a snapshot of the running program. To start up again later, it would just read that snapshot and push the whole bloody thing into RAM. Once completed you were running.
it was the difference between a 10 minute startup or a 1 minute startup.

consoles are sold as a platform for running games.
they should give the consoles away. the real money does NOT come from the hardware. it comes from software. They charge for the box to get money upfront to cover initial development and actual build/ship costs. After they recoup these costs it is all gravy.
Remember back to BillG vs. IBM RE: dos and windows
IBM thought it was all about the hardware.
Gates knew it was all about the software.
If you can run linux chances are high that you will also write or use free or at least non-sony software. This translates to Sony making less money from licensing of software for their boxes.
Hence they will wait as long as possible.
Or, even longer.

What Do I Need To Know About The Code Red Virus?
What is the Code Red Virus?
The Code Red virus is a worm virus. The worm is designed to spread the first 20 days of each month and has the potential to disrupt business and personal use of the Internet for applications such as electronic commerce, e-mail and entertainment.
What does the Code Red Virus do?
The worm scans the Internet, locates vulnerable systems and infects these systems by installing itself. Each newly-installed worm joins the others. The uncontrolled growth in scanning slows the speed of the Internet and can cause sporadic but widespread outages.
The virus takes advantage of a defect in Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) software. It affects only computers with the IIS Web server software and Windows NT or 2000 operating systems. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me operating systems are immune. Therefore, most personal computers in the home cannot be infected. Those users who have computers that have been infected should reboot the machine and install the appropriate Microsoft software patch.
For Windows NT 4.0: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?Rel easeID=30833
For Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?Rel easeID=30800
Detailed instructions to use the patches can be found below.
What is AT&T Broadband Doing About the Code Red Virus?
We're closely monitoring our network and keeping a close eye on how our customers are being affected by the Code Red II computer virus. Our engineering team is running scans of the network to identify infected users. After the scan, AT&T Broadband will alert affected customers to assist them in ridding their computer(s) of the virus.
How Does the Code Red Virus Affect AT&T@Home Customers?
You may experience slow connection speeds due to the Code Red II virus traffic across the AT&T Broadband network.
Please note that AT&T Broadband customers are not being affected any differently than DSL or dial-up users. However, the virus can ping computers much faster on our high-speed network creating slower customer speeds.
What Should I Do to Protect Myself from the Code Red Virus:
Customers who have computers infected with the Code Red or Code Red II virus should download the Code Red patch from Microsoft.
If you are running a computer(s) with the IIS Web server software and Windows NT or 2000 operating systems, take these steps to protect computers:
Download the patch
Disconnect from the Internet (see additional instructions below)
Reboot your computer
Run the patch program
Restart your computer again
To properly connect and disconnect your computer from the Internet:
Shut off your computer
Unplug the cable modem from its power supply
Wait approximately 30 - 40 seconds
Plug the cable modem back into the power supply
Turn your computer back on

Filtering Port 80 Q&As
Why is AT&T Broadband and Excite@Home Filtering HTTP Port 80, and how Does Filtering that Port Prevent the Code Red Virus from Spreading?
In an effort to alleviate the spread of the Code Red and Code Red II viruses on the AT&T Broadband High-Speed Cable Internet Network, AT&T Broadband and Excite@Home are indefinitely filtering all incoming traffic on http port 80 for residential customers.
Since the virus infects computers with the IIS Web server software and Window's NT or 2000 operating systems, the blocking of port 80 traffic is one of the first steps in containing the Code Red viruses on the Excite@Home and AT&T Broadband networks. Containing the Code Red viruses will assist in restoring the AT&T@Home service to the standard our customers have come to expect.
How does the Port 80 filter affect customers?
Blocking of inbound port 80 traffic only affects residential customers that are hosting Web servers with their cable modem. Residential customers that subscribe to Excite@Home Webspace or AT&T@Home Personal Pages and are not hosting a Web server are not affected by the filter.
Are Customers Who Subscribe to AT&T Broadband Business Services Affected by the Port 80 Filter?
The Port 80 filter only affects AT&T@Home residential customers.
Why Can't AT&T@Home Residential Customers Run Web Servers?
The @Home residential service offering is a consumer product designed for your personal use of the Internet. Customers must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgment of @Home) an unusually large burden on the network itself.
The benefits and privileges available from the AT&T@Home, and the Internet in general, must be balanced with duties and responsibilities so that other customers can also have a productive experience.
Under the terms of the Excite@Home Acceptable Use Policy, the running of Web servers on a residential AT&T@Home account is not permitted. See Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations in the Excite@Home Acceptable Use Policy.
*AT&T Broadband does not provide support or endorse most third party applications. If you have questions, concerns or problems with a third party software application, you will need to contact the software manufacturer. In no event shall AT&T Broadband, its agents or officers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages to computer Hardware or Software) arising out of the use of or inability to use the Software mentioned above, even if AT&T Broadband has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

12-13 yrs old a kid knows good from bad.
What they do not yet grasp is the full impact of long term consequences. Their physical makeup is changing both structural(Height, weight, breasts, etc) and chemical (testosterone and other hormones).
These massive changes are already messing with a kids mind. They are on the bleeding edge of freedom. Fighting to prove they can stand on their own, but still needing someone to back them up when they falter.
I know cause I have been there and Now, 18 years later I have my own 12 yr old who is quite clearly going through the same hell I went through.
Fortunately for him I still remember quite clearly what Jr.High was like and what it still is.
Rather than just dumping a generic punishment on him I make for damn sure the punishment fits the crime. If he breaks something and tells me about it immediately, we talk it through and it gets fixed with me taking on at least half of the costs (the FIRST time it happens, second time he eats it all).
If he hides it and I discover it later, he eats the whole cost. BUT WE STILL TALK THROUGH IT!
He understands that when he is upfront about any issue I will take him seriously. HE also knows that if he asks he will get an appropriate answer and explanation. Not always the answer he wants to hear, but an appropriate one. Not that bogus "Because I said so" that ignorant adults in leadership roles tend to use. If he acts with out asking, he will be on the raw end of an appropriate punishment and he will have to Talk the whole issue out until I feel that he really understands the issues.
Sure he storms around the house when he gets mad about something. I did the same thing at 13 yrs old. Heck I even broke a few doors and windows. (I ended up fixing them while the scrapes on my hands were still raw too. Thanks Dad I did learn something.)
Every day he gets more and more responsibilities and more closely feels the true consequences of his actions. Some good, some not so good.
If he were to hack into his schools computers I only hope I would find out first and together we would seek a lawyer. Yes there are legal ramifications. But, I would be there to hold him up. I would be there to explain that even though it might suck now, maybe even for a year or two, life is longer than that and things will improve eventually.
Contrary to what most educators say, School is NOT LIKE THE REAL WORLD. When you are an Adult and on your own, you have the freedom and ability to remove yourself from uncomfortable situations. Schoolchildren are a captive audience that are forced to be there day in and day out not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for 12 long years.
As a 13yr old, a year is a long way off.
As an adult we have a better grasp on the realities of time. I only wish my sense of time was like my kids. Then maybe I wouldn't be feeling as old as I do now at the end of this somewhat disjointed post.
I rattled off specs for just such a thing during a lunchtime meeting months ago. I suppose since we threw out the McDonalds wrappers I wrote it on I cannot have it considered as prior art.
Damn Ketchup Packets.
The only issue was how to get the endusers browsers to use the system. IANAProgrammer so I was relying on the technical ability of my lunchmates.
With the success of the new.net dns plugin and other such plugins I see that writing a plugin to the browser is the simplest way to do this.

If M$ were to allow the local admin to control the list of restricted file extensions we would be OK with this. They have submitted a method for adding items to the restriction levels Why dont they make the whole list available here too? Then we could control on a per user or per system basis who can do what.
however, if you look at the restricted types you see that URLs and shortcuts are also disallowed. you have to spell out where to go so that the recipient has to type it in to their browser etc. Bad microsoft. no sticker. Also, they give the ability to add more filetypes for restriction but no way to remove their new restrictions. why the F didn't they give the admin of that system the ability to modify each level list? then I can choose that as a smart admin I get all attachments but my users get a more restricted subset. my somewhat enlightened users get a not quite so restricted set and so on?

I would say that the self service advertising model is one reason it can work.
:(
People who go to the site will advertise on the site.
Look for a combination of google self-serve adwords and what is already going on. at slashdot.
What I would really like to know from both companies, is where the opensource variants of their ad software can be found? Is there software out there that I can use for my own site like this? To let the people who actually use the site become advertisers on the site which in turn will pay for the site?
I looked on freshmeat but came up blank
I guess neither google or OSDN want to free their ad software...pity

unfortunately, to do this you need to pay the license fee so that you can decode the mp3.
But, no one here cares.
Bastards.
So where is the vorbis support in this wonder box?
Why the hell arre the personal digital audio players all skipping vorbis? Don't they need to pay royalties to Germany for the ability to do MP3?
What will it take to get them to support vorbis !?!?!?!
