Yeah but you have to except the downtime as its a test server for Novell. Its still worth it, but maybe not for people that need mission critical e-mail access 24/7.
I've been using it for 2 years now with no hassel, IMAP and POP3 support, 10MB webspace and no adverts. Great service even if its is used for a test bed for Novels services:-)
Whopps slight mistake there, yeah your correct its min 11MB max 75MB last time I checked for IE (5) Dispite my mistake its still alot larger then anythign Mozilla is offering, I think you'll agree...
I got myself a Logitech Internet keyboard a couple of years ago (it was almost free) and to be honest the only keys I ever use on it are volume up/down and mute (used during games)
The other keys require some crap key commandor software that they stoped making after Win98, but they volume keys will work without it:-)
A grandfather has said he was wrongly accused of illegally downloading music online at the start of a legal campaign by the US music industry.
Durwood Pickle, 71, of Texas, said his teenage grandchildren used his computer during visits to his home.
"I didn't do it, and I don't feel like I'm responsible," he said.
Mr Pickle was among 261 individuals accused of sharing music files on the internet without permission.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has filed lawsuits in federal courts across the US on behalf of major record companies Universal, BMG, EMI, Sony and Warner Brothers.
It warns those found guilty that they face fines of up to $150,000 (100,000) per song swapped. Critics have accused the RIAA of being heavy-handed.
Activities
Yale University professor Timothy Davis, who was also named in the lawsuits, said he would stop sharing music files immediately.
He said he had downloaded about 500 songs before his internet provider notified him about the music industry's interest in his activities.
Another defendant, Lisa Schamis of New York, said her internet provider warned her two months ago that record industry lawyers had asked for her name and address.
She said she had no idea she might be sued but acknowledged downloading "lots" of music over file-sharing networks.
RIAA president Cary Sherman said he hoped the legal action would prompt parents to pay more attention to potentially illegal activities by their children.
"We expect people to say 'It isn't me, it was my kid,' but someone has to take responsibility," Sherman said.
The music industry says file-sharing is a violation of copyright laws and blames the practice for a drop in CD sales worldwide.
But critics say the recording industry could face the wrath of its audience.
Georgetown University Professor Michael Ryan said: "They are sending, on one hand, sending what they think to be a powerful message and, on the other hand, they are risking alienating their primary customer."
Media analyst Ian Campbell, of Lovelacemedia, said the lawsuits " smacked of desperation". Positive measures were needed to encourage people to buy music online.
As one person left on the comment page on the BBC site, why not use a DVD? I could understand using CD back in 1998 but in this day and age majority of people have DVD Rom drives over in the UK (I should know I gota deal with them every day)
Maybe this is something they'll change in the future...
There software is very questionable alright so I'm amazed Google actually did what theye did, considering the RIAA/MPAA could do the same and get Kazaa de-listed.
Nice that even if you can't get Kazaa-Lite off google in future atleast you can download it over Kazaa's OWN network:-)
Obviously much better then MS search
netscape search gives better results
After 3 supported linsk the first link is linux.com
Seems alot better then MS search
We all know there is weapons, or more to the point will be weapons when the US ship them over.
In other news it turns out the US though Iraq had weapons because the US sold them to Iraq. But in the end it turns out Iraq sold the weapons because of the UN Sanctions because it needed the money......
Yeah but atleast its a start, even if it is a tax.
Its better then the way things are, I will admit better things could be done But atleast its something, atleast its helped in someway. People are now more aware of plastic bags because now they have to pay for them.
The ironic thing about all of this IS, back in the 70's people had to pay for bags here and it was supermarkets that introduced the idea of free bags.
Slashdot Mirror
hmm by the same logic why would people bother renting a normal 35mm camera because you can buy one so cheap these days
Technology eh?, its great...
News for nerds, news that reapeats....
My fav line out of that page has to be this :)
"Your current information will be stored in a 256-bit encrypted protected server."
Hmmm
Using Mozilla 1.5
"If you were using Mozilla, you'd be back at your desktop by now."
Realllyyy, they may want to change it to
"If you were using Mozilla, you'll now be reading this stupid txt."
very good....
Has to be either Bit Torrent or DC++ for me. :-P
now all I need is more harddrive space
Yeah but you have to except the downtime as its a test server for Novell.
Its still worth it, but maybe not for people that need mission critical e-mail access 24/7.
Actually very good, I don't get much spam at all.
Maybe one or two a day at most, also there spam blocking rules are very good allow you to use *.tk or *.co.uk if you want to block whole TLD's.
Nope I've never missed any e-mails that have been sent to me, I've also never lost any of my already saved e-mails.
Another good point, there virus blocking is top class and I've only ever got one e-mail virus through in the past 2 years.
I've been using it for 2 years now with no hassel, IMAP and POP3 support, 10MB webspace and no adverts. :-)
Great service even if its is used for a test bed for Novels services
Well now we got good picture quality, all we need now is tv shows to watch on it...
Whopps slight mistake there, yeah your correct its min 11MB max 75MB last time I checked for IE (5)
Dispite my mistake its still alot larger then anythign Mozilla is offering,
I think you'll agree...
spend hours downloading a new browser are you crazy?
Full download of Mozilla - 13MB
Full download of Firebird - 6.8MB
full download of Internet Explorer is around 111MB, 7MB hardly takes hours for a new browser...
I got myself a Logitech Internet keyboard a couple of years ago (it was almost free) and to be honest the only keys I ever use on it are volume up/down and mute (used during games)

It is indeed nice that we CAN make our voices heard if you want them to be heard.

So thats one less person using the "unsafe os"

Actually this has all been sorted out with UK goverment.
Yeah but atleast its a start, even if it is a tax.
