There are a couple of limitations, but hey, get your hands dirty and help fix them!
I disagree with you that the US and UK should be MORE like China - see human rights, pollution, general sanitation and living conditions.
I disagree with you on the pronography front as well. Any attempt to limit someones freedoms impinges on the rights we all have. What will be next - a book burning? Oh no! Those ideas have to go!/sarcasum
And finally, the on-topic part of my post... I am using ~200gb of storage on my server - most of it applications, tools for work, images and music. Quite a few linux iso archives as well. My friend who does graphics for a living doesn't bother with disks smaller than 200gb in *workstations* these days. His servers are spinning around 1.6TB each (office and home - mirrored).
As disk space becomes availible, you can find usefull ways to fill it.
Haha! thats very silly. I really dislike the iTunes interface; its outdated one-large-list aproach makes all but the fastest machines a PITA to find what you want to hear. Admittedly, I have needs that iTunes isn't geared for - title search, partial word search with artist filtering etc.
I use the registered winamp and have bunches of prearranged filter sets and "playlist" files from which I build my actual playlists.
Not to mention that the system they wrote it for ( I think its the Yammaha CX5M music/midi computer) isn't in production anymore and PC sound at the time of the patent was miserable, if I have my dates right.
He has a storefront, in Essex and has been there a great many years. I don't know much more about him, but obviously he is looking to get something from Apple for this alledged infringement.
I have been in the shop a couple of times, both times I didn't feel welcomed... I've never been back - there are other places to buy what he's selling.
Indeed, that is a handy feature. I like to watch items as the auction ends to see how much sniping there is in a given catagory. If its something I need, I'll buy it now or go to the store!:)
Many many people on Ebay and at auctions pay way more then they need to. I was at an ISP liquidation and I saw someone buy a beat-to-heck sawzall for $165. We drove across town after the auction and got one new, in the box with warrenty and blades for $115.
Its buyers frenzy and "good" sellers know how to write thier copy to hook people in. One important thing I do is to watch a catagory a long while and set a limit of what I'm willing to spend.
Sometimes, while waiting, I have had people offer me the thing I want for free if I take it out of thier house. You just never know.
While that is attractive from a spam-stopping perspective, it radicly limits one of the best parts of the internet - that is its peer-to-peer capability. I'm not talking about napster in this case, but in self-publishing and direct node-to-node capability.
The issue becomes - are my views being censored - is my traffic being monitored - am I a second-class net.citizen because I have been prevented from participating in *any* way.
Obviously, we all hate spam or we wouldn't have this thread but one of the goals of the original net was to let everyone publish and everyone share. We shouldn't loose sight of that.
Your probably right that blocking 25/out wouldn't hurt many people - and those it did would presumeably know how to fix it. However, if they are dynamic IP's how are you going to track those users?
The PE 4100 has the same chasis and was a dual Pentium Pro 200 (or 180). You are correct that those are 4200's though, being P2 machines. Wouldn't want someone to get the wrong thing at the swap meet!:)
MBZ has been putting tamper-proof VIN stickers on every major body panel and door for at least the last 12 years. Our 1991 mbz has I think 14 vin stickers visible just with the hood/trunk/doors open. Alot more of those numbers are on major parts under the car too. I don't think the windows are VIN'ed.
Yes, infact, biking can be hazzardous. There was an accident in the Tour De France this year where a rider (Italian?) crashed, infront of Lance Armstrong (which is why US media showed it) Lance was fine, but the orignal rider had a broken Femur. Obviously, this was an extreme case but it does happen.
I've ridden countless miles on my bike - the most dangerous place I've ridden was in town with traffic... too many people on thier phones not watching anything but the shine on thier hood.
Except for the Linux Peronality Module that they ship. I strongly suspect they had to look at Linus's GPL'ed code to get that to work.
SCO may be in violation of sections 4 and 5 of the GPL in regaurds to that piece of code (LPM) as well.
I suspect that the SAMBA team may hold the largest trump card in this case. Seeing as anyone who would want LPM functionality may well instead build a second box with Linux on it. The SAMBA functionality is a great add on and SCO's marketing dept have long trumpeted its capabilities.
I suspect other authors will also publicly revoke SCO's licence.
I wonder if the OSDN/IBM/NOVELL defense funds can also be used for Offensive lawsuits to protect authors' terms of licence. If so, that provides a contract-free way to build a case specificly to show the GPL's strength in court, in a case argued on those grounds alone.
*why* would Microsoft make thier VoIP offering compatable with anyone else? They're the platform lock in vendor, remember? Soon there will be telephony, VoIP and XboxPhone... I fear.
That would really be sad. Not to mention every paper cutter and shreader. Can you see a day when the oldest tool known to man ( a sharp bit of rock ) might be outlawed by the DMCA?
I hadn't thought of that aspect - I too have a Seiko self-winder ( a '5' ) with a great dual-direction brushed face. It weighs enough I have to take it off when I clap at hockey games or it bruises my wrist.
My wife has a St. Moritz ladies self-winding diver watch which is NEVER off of her wrist. They are wonderfull to watch wind and listen to when the power is out.
Or it could be that millions of windows machines are out of sync with timeservers and are really quite early in thier attacks.
I remember a machine I worked on that thought each day was 23:20 long - over the weekend it'd be out of sync. We had to make a sign for it so people would set the time often...
I have a friend who does contract programming. One of his clients was INSISTING on using lookups for alphanumeric fields. Not something like partno -> partno-desc-location-fru_number...
Instead the client wanted to store the something like "Lower pinch roller" with each character being a lookup in the alphabet table. I'm not kidding.
Another wizard wanted to have all of the possible combinations for parts groupings pre-built rather then using dependant joins or sub-querys. Estimated size of *just* the parts table? 4.2TB.
As has been said other places, the people who are giving thier code away BELIEVE in what they are doing.
They also have the option (as we all do) to invest in companies who are profiting from thier work. I'm pretty sure that IBM and Intel both issue dividends. It might not be rolling in dough, but its a nice thing to go to the mailbox and find $:)
More importanly then IBM would be a non-technology company doing the same thing. If IBM can do it and they are the only ones, then the movement has fallen short...
I hope we see a couple of non-tech companies doing the same, then the people for whom tech is not a passion, but a line-item on a budget may notice. Unfortunately, THEY will have alot of influence on when there is a mass movement away from giving money to people for buggy software.
I don't think we should be less evangelical, but trying to put a bussiness perspective on it.
Set up a proxy server for all net access. Rotate the UN/PW combo and as someone else similarly suggested, PRINT THE PROXY SERVER PW on the receipt. This way you'll be protected from MALICIOUS WARDRIVERS.
Does this mean you go war-driving without coffee??! What are yo thinking?!!?:)
Glad you are okay and had people come to see if you needed help. I stopped for two people off the road that night, the jeep that I wrote about and a white pickup off the interstate.
If you find yourself in Vermont, give a shout, its always interesting to meet other/. people.

Have you _ever_ been to the south of the US? Racism is very strong there, not just anti-black but anti-you-aren't-exactly-like-me. Try it sometime.

Criminal actions where a person is held in law enforcement custody is what the "right to a fair and timely trial" comes from.
Civil actions, such as lawsuits like SCO has brought are often multi-year morasses... Its sad but true.
