Finally- a filesharing system that stresses the cooperative element required. However, it only provides a framework for sharing files- you have to think about where these files come from.
Something like OpenCulture backed up by a file distribution system like this would be the answer everyone's looking for.
I'm trying to remember the science fiction story (It may have been Katharine Kerr's Polar City Blues, but I'm not sure) where a common item of consumer electronics was an InfiniSym, or Infinite Symphony. Highly paid musical composer/programmers would create a box which, when the button was pressed, create a new musical piece based on the themes, melodies, and rhythm structures that they had placed within.
Imagine that every time you listened to a piece of music from a device, it was the first time it had ever been performed.
Rather than being soulless, I think that this would be one of the most beautiful things in the world.
The people trolling this story are the same ones that cause females to turn away from technical careers. Even if a female is inclined to technical pursuits, she has a powerful reason not to, when the technical field is filled with sexist, insecure, and socially incoherent people. A male has to deal with social pressure from outside the geek community, but within the community, there is support and like minded people. I'm generalising here, but a female has to deal with harrassment from both inside the community and without, and for most of them, it just isn't worth it. I have a tremendous respect for females in technical fields, because they have to deal with social difficulties on two fronts. In other words, don't treat female geeks as aberrations, prospective geek wives, or otherworldly creatures... treat them as fellow geeks.
You can turn that off. I did. Admittedly the Net2Phone and other permanent "bookmarks" are irritating, as are certain other problems, which include- problems with bookmark modification (you can create new folders, but you can't put anything new in.
much slower load time than IE- MS has a big advantage here. I continue to use Netscape 6 to support the demographic. The more people that use IE, the more webpages that will be Netscape/Mozilla unfriendly.
point. But the government's case will be put in a worse position than before, with one strike against them. The point I was trying to make is that if Jackson attempted to bypass the appeals court, they'll view that unfavourably.
It's not a bug, it's a feature, according to the people who should know. Slashdot is full of easter-egg features- like metamoderation. You don't get the prompt to metamoderate (at least this used to be the case) until you metamoderate. Paradoxes are fun.
Major unlisted sids include- Moderation Metamoderation They seem to be cleaned out periodically.
The expedited move is exactly what Microsoft wants.
If Jackson asks for it, he'll probably be denied, and the case will end up in a MS-friendly court which will be annoyed about the attempt to bypass them. They'll dismiss the case, and Microsoft will get off scot free, rather than being tied up in court for years, sanctioned.
Admittedly they were _only_ 5 and 8 months ago, but neither story mentions a Micro Server running ARM. I'd like to see your 5-10 lines of code that's capable of inferring that an incorrectly specced, incorrectly titled Gateway Microserver, is a relabeled Cobalt Qube, from the stories discussing the alliance of Gateway and Cobalt, and the release of the Microserver.
Also, given that this was an Ask Slashdot!, not a release article, I think that this is an entirely reasonable mistake. If somebody needs correcting, it's alexhmit01- a little research as opposed to running to Slashdot would have been in order. I note he does a lot of assuming.
As for me, I assume Sengan was quietly retired after the Desert Storm debacle. And at last count, there are 25 authors, including Sengan, listed in search, plus "editor" and "The Slashdot Authors". (now there's a name for a band.) Save the flames for articles such as the Redhat double post.
Wow- you mean the slashdot guys don't maintain a photographic memory recall of every story they have posted since 1997? Just destroy my childish illusions, why don't you.
Actually, I believe it was a recursive troll. No serious flame contains the word "boobies".An excellent faux-flame response, and you leap into YHBTing. YHBRT. HAND. hahahahahahaha!
Analogies are just that. Analogies. They cannot be expected to match circumstances exactly, but I think that this one fulfils its purpose admirably- illustrating the situation. You also have beautifully illustrated the situation, by the way, by being a hostile whiner.
By the way, the "charismatic leader" that is referred to would probably be Emperor Constantine. And according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Christianity, 34%, Islam 18.4%. However Christianity hasn't expanded (percentage wise) in at least 100 years. Now get back on topic.
I'm guessing Dune 2000, based on Frank Herbert's novel Dune.
"He who controls the spice, controls the universe." Read Dune- don't bother with any of the sequels. I believe they reflect Herbert's growing senility.
And to keep this OT, I feel that any law that relates to a specific ethos, should stay in that culture. America's ethos is not that of the world. Even if Reno claims that they never even thought about a global cyberpolice, you know they'd like to. I love the internet too much to see it controlled by jackbooted thugs of any nationality or organisation. I appreciated the comment above recognising "cyber criminals" as the new Red Menace. I feel that a combination of media hype and government exploitation is responsible for this situation.
Lots of people have whois-ed netpd.com, but now let's apply the results. We've gone from the UK to the US to a Mr. Bruce Ward. What does bruce@provenst.com turn up on google?
Some highly interesting help requests. Least he's using Linux The request about MySQL, which includes the interesting text-
"I have been trying MYSQL on a project I have been working on for about two months now. Our database is starting to grow now. We have reached 3.5 million records in a table that is about 400Mb with a 600Mb index. The largest part of the table is a 256 varchar field. The server is a AMD Athalon 700 Mhz with 384 Mb Ram and a 27 Gig ATA 66 hard drive running Mandrake 7", piques my interest.
You almost never are. My BellAtlantic ADSL account, and almost every other personal cable modem/DSL agreement I've read forbids LAN connections or anything else even related to sharing of bandwidth.
However, there's a difference between what is allowed, and what can actually be done.

I believe it was "smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris", but I could be wrong.

Ahem. Make that "organizations established by international treaties between governments or Internet infrastructure databases".
tpc.int is the latter- it's a database of fax servers.
Unfortunately, .int is only open to international treaty organisations. That's why .int is often forgotten- because almost nobody can use it.
Use .com.us, rather than the two letter system.

No, you're very confused. The US Marine sword is a _saber_.
Broadswords have two sides, are straight, and typically do not have a basinet.
You're thinking of Captain Pugwash, a BBC program, and it isn't true.

There is a character referred to as Mister Mate, but that's about it.
Hmmm... if Mozilla == Godzilla, does that make IE == Mecha-Godzilla?
I submit my case-
Only appeared after Godzilla pioneered the genre
Godzilla's mortal enemy
not as cool as the original, yet more efficient
Impersonal and unfriendly
Metallic and evil, constructed by life forms alien to us
Laser eye beams... oh, wait.
