With the end result that it can't possibly be as strong to a coordinated censorship attack. Admitted, I think MUTE is pretty smooth, but it's not really comparable to freenet.
Well duh. You read an article on slashdot, downloaded, and tossed a node onto the network. Do you have any reason to expect that a million other people didn't do the same thing? If you graph the performance of the freenet over time, it would be something like a sawtooth wave, with the fall-offs corresponding to slashdot posts.:)
No, it's far, far harder than that. Freenet has never had a release that's lived up to its own standards. But it is in development, and it is pre-1.0, and it is getting really damn close, so it's worth watching. And supporting, by money if possible.
Yes, it's wrong in two ways that I can see. First, 411 is an invalid exchange (due to the rule about x11 numbers). Second, 0000 is an entirely invalid number. Not sure if it matters though, as dialing is probably terminated after the 411. (Not sure about that; it certainly would be if the 411 came first, but I'm not sure what happens when you add the Missouri area code first, and I'm not about to find out.)
/usr/src/linux is wrong, in general. You should have a/lib/modules/$version/build symlink to the source tree for the relevant kernel. If it says it couldn't figure out your kernel version, Im not sure what's up. Make sure that 'uname -r' reports something sane.
Those same "authorities", by virtue of using SPEWS, are also those LEAST likely to be affected by anything approaching a logical argument. So, agreed, it's useless to argue. But it's painful.
I know the idea has been tossed around before, and people have said that the platform is just too small... but now PalmOS has better devices, tons more memory, and the ability to work with files, and it pretty much always _has_ had the abiliy to load libraries. Even the internet-connection stuff is downright unified these days. I would think that it would be possible to port a considerable subset of Perl, by this point, that would be able to do most of the things one would want to do on a handheld anyway.
But if it takes the JVM half a minute to load "Hello World" before it can run, then how could it be anything but the JVM that lacks "competent coding" ?
In the past 9-10 years, windows has gone from 3.x to 95 and NT, to 2000, to 2003. In the same time, Linux has gone from 1.0 to (just about) 2.6
The biggest shift in windows-world was from 3.x to 9x / NT in 1995. Linux went from 1.2.x to 2.0 in 1996. Since then, we've had 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6, all of which have had improvements that would have qualified for major releases in windows.
Of course, Linux is a kernel, and windows is quite a bit heavier, so it's a case of tangerines and oranges.
But if the DMCA didn't exist, then there would be no place for copyright at all in this issue. If anything, there might be some protection to the user, as they took the pictures. Fine, it'd be "protecting" this business. But it's still taking a law waaay outside its scope of applicability to protect a business model that wouldn't survive in a free world.
* GIMP, for every platform, saves GIFs. * GIMP has several features that I've been searching for in Photoshop for years, and haven't been able to find. * GIMP is incredibly stable. * I've only run into one worth-mentioning GIMP bug. Ever. * I use GIMP daily, and have never seen the source code * Photoshop is not "Continuously Improving" -- it's just continuously getting larger and slower. I find Photoshop 6 a good deal easier to actually get work done with than 7, and I can't find any worthwhile new features anywhere.
"Two-kernel monte" does let you switch kernels without rebooting the hardware, but
1) uptime does get reset 2) This is entirely appropriate, as all of your apps still get shut down for the "restart" -- it would take process freeze/thaw capability to be able to bring down apps and bring them back up, intact, on a different kernel. And even then there would be a minute or three's downtime.

But think how much more money they'd have if the economy wasn't burdened with giving them a free ride?
In any case, "health care should be a right" -- you mean that everyone has the right to steal a doctor's labor? There is no such right.
We're discussing US numbers here.

That's why I'm a... damn!
I meant the costs of being constantly forced to switch from one crappy provider to another, not the increased costs of a (mythical) decent one.
And the REAL reason that it's a problem is this:
Those same "authorities", by virtue of using SPEWS, are also those LEAST likely to be affected by anything approaching a logical argument. So, agreed, it's useless to argue. But it's painful.
1) And lose business and generally suffer.
2) And lose money and time.
3) And lose money, time, business, and a LOT more time.

Perhaps you should think on the meaning of "ignorant".
If it was an honest question, that is PRECISELY what ignorance would be.
See also the age-old adage "ignorance is excusable. Stupidity is not."
By which you mean, the 22% increase in the dollar price of gold since this time last year?
I think not.
But really, think about it.

My calculus textbook told me "Jerk is what spills your soda." It's true on so many levels. :)
Asstroll.

Of course, there is this revolutionary interchange format known as the "text file" that hasn't gone all too far since EBCDIC :)
Definitely not. The only thing it's about is pressure from ICANN -- who, in the long run, is not one whit better than Verisign.
