The libraries use what litte money they can for people who really need to use the computers for research instead of looking at pr0n or checking hotmail. Thats like saying you have the right to setup a warez distro on their computers because your tax dollars pay for it. Like the other poster said, have some computers blocked and some unblocked. Use what you like.
How do they keep track of the copies floating around via irc or even posted to usenet? What about files on gnutella (yuck) SX and even freenet? It seems his site only counts the people who download from there.
Well if you look at polls on major news sites the majority of the public feel the government is wrong for taking on microsoft. We all know what the general opinion is here at slashdot. Anyone who has an opinion different from the mainstream here is modded down. I'm starting to read k5hin more and more.
Oh by the way he was talking about security bugs and exploits, not the infamous "65,000" number that people spout off about. How many security updates does each version of redhat have? Around a dozen or so. Still no one has hacked the win2k test site.
Ever download a file bigger than 100k or so with gnutella? It ain't gonna happen unless they fix the protocol. You don't know if you're downloading from soneone on AOL or some guy on the college resnet. Just the searching traffic will saturate anyone using a dialup.
How many simultaneous copies of the nintendo or apple II emulator could you run on a modern pc with a ton of ram? The same goes for this mainframe. Big deal you booted 41,000 copies, can you actually use all of those copies at once?
The general opinion here is that no one likes watermarked files. Thats like saying you don't like the key your car uses, so everyone should install a simple on/off switch. After all you should be able to drive anyones car you please.
Suppose you search for adobe photoshop.zip with gnutella and someone has a trojaned piece of warez? You can't really imbed a virus in a data file and expect it to spread.
napster didn't invent mp3s. I was downloading them long before napster was even thought of. Why use unreliable napster when you have tons of ftp sites and irc channels? Even usenet has some good mp3 groups.

Here just read this page for an explanation:

Sue me for calling you an asshole. How accurate is the reporting here at slashdot? Not very accurate.
See how many hits bugtraq gives you for windows 2000 and then search for redhat 6.2 or 6.1 or any version of linux. Seems clear to me.

To incite the linux zealots and generate more banner hits here.
I still want an ISA slot for an internal modem. Most PCI modems are cheap winmodems anyhow.
Have any idea how big uncompressed mpeg video is? You better have more than 4 gig of free space.
Everyone is going to download that 4 gig VOB file and not the 200 meg mpeg4 rip :)
Ignore any file not ending in mp3. Wait until someone tries downloading NUDEXXX14.EXE and infects their computer with BO or netbus.

But you're forgetting FreeBSD can run linux binaries with no problem.
you must be new here, get used to bashing anything not linux. the rules are pretty simple.

Its based on the LAME codec but its very fast and supports SMP :)

So the feds are going to break my door down and force me to use JohnDoe@usps.gov? I seriously doubt it.
And who is going to use that in a product? Thats like running a production server with a beta kernel.

It must be nice to not need money to live. I wish I were you. Don't you like making money?
Its all falling into place. Muwahaha
There are 10 different ones in progress and each are incompatibe with each other and still alpha code :)
Put mp3 support in the kernel along with http and even xf86! Then we can compete with windows!
