The two Gaming companies who's business practices I despise the most are fighting? AWESOME! Though I hope EA wins this one, at least they pay the companies they rape the innovation out of.
A libertarian is a republican that is uncomfortable lying about their porn, drugs, and being nice to other humans habits. Republicans are just as into drugs and porn, they just lie about it, and act offended.
Around the computer shop's i've worked at we joke that we'd rather have a virus than norton on our machines, at least the virus won't charge you a fee to mess up your OS.
In canada's yukon and northwest terrirtories the phone companies literally charge $10/GB for bandwidth, making digital content delivery un-desrirable. pay $60 for a game on steam, and then another $60 to the phone company to download the content. No thanks, I'll buy it boxed and only pay once.
This challenge is simple. Restrict your bit-torrent client to only use a portion of your total bandwidth. step 1. Use a few speed test, or download a few really well seeded torrents to determines your maximum up/download speeds.
step 2. Subtract a few KB/s from the maximum speeds and cap your torrent client's upload/download speeds to the remainder. leave yourself a good 15-20kb/s for your voip connection and you should be alright. unless your isp is using flow limiting, then set the maximum connections for your torrent client to a number around 200, and it should work decently.
Even the most expensive residential router chokes on the shear number of connections your average P2P client tries to maintain.
I modified my WRT54G's setting to be just a wireless access point and switch by disabling the DHCP server - then built a cheap Smoothwall firewall using an old P3 800Mhz with a pair of pci nics.
DSL -> Smoothwall -> LAN Port 1 on WRT54
Leaving the WAN port unused, I still have three ports for wired PCs (nearly unlimited with the addition of more switches) and wireless works without a hitch. The WRT's job is just to be a switch and manage wireless authentication and encryption.
The Smoothwall easily handles the traffic without slowing down other clients and (bonus) has QoS built in.
It also provides web caching, email antivirus, DNS, NTP, Snort IDS, and so much more.
Oh, and it's totally open source and available for download from smoothwall.org if you loaded the tomato or dd-wrt firmware onto that wrt54g you could use the wan port as an additional switchport.
seems more likely the mac address on your wireless card identified you as a westerner, since it contains details about mfgr, and possibly intended country of sale.
How many do you want? games like worms have supported multiplayer gaming with single and multiple player per node setups on the pc for quite a while. Other games like the "you don't know jack" series fit this category too, using a single keyboard for up to three players.
DU emits gamma rays. gamma rays easily penetrate the human body and damage genetic code, leading to birth defects in offspring, cancer, among a variety of other problems.
A External USB 2.0 HDD enclosure (i like the startech one because its internal design is resistant to abuse) can be used to plug any IDE disk into a system and bring it online for OS based testing or data recovery. you can also use it as a method for running a virus or spyware scan on a system who's own OS is too far gone to use effectively.
I have a SATA version as well on the bench in my tech shop.
I can say that this is completly backwards, as the traffic between the ircd's is ziped and ssl encrypted, and the connections to the clients CAN be SSL as well. At least that's the way it is on a private IRC network I spend time on. (One of the networks 4 servers lives under my desk). As an option you can set a flag on an irc channel to only allow clients with encryption enabled to join the conversation. The only people this is going to catch are the ones stupid or lazy enough to deserve catching.
There has been no spyware or adware on my machine since I started using firefox back at 0.7, period. Not a single item or article. Unless you count tracking cookies, but when was the last time a tracking cookie caused system instability? I still make love to my bonzai buddy daily though!;)
If you play the game, and do not pay for it your a pirate. If you believe otherwise you are a pirate and an idiot.
I pre-ordered Half-Life 2 via steam, and have never had a problem with the authentication. Sure it took a few minutes to decrypt the files when launched my copy of steam at 12:01 am on release day, (less time than it would have taken to install say, halo) I've never had any problems or annoyances with it.
While that's true, it takes about 2 weeks of swapfile use on a CF card to burn it out. A friend of mine made that mistake after installing ZipSlack on a 128mb CF card (in a CF->IDE adapter) I think he was using it on a 32mb machine... so 2 weeks of heavy swapping... that's a LOT of reads & writes.
From what I know about the way local channels work currently For American Directv systems. Since pirating the programming on american systems is legal in canada.
Local channels are rumored to be "spot beamed" so that only a specific geographic area can recieve the channel, and then only if it has a valid postal, and city/state code set. For the downstream. People in ontario canada can receive local channels on a properly configured satellite dish for either detroit, or new-york. Though once I got the local channels from pheonix arizona to work for a few minutes.
This is done, by changing some information on the iso standard smartcards with card readers which are becomign very common in canadian households with directv Satellite systems.
I personally think that anyone should be able to watch the local channels of anywhere else, at will. Why don't they want people to view the local news from another city? it doesn't cost them any extra.. the only people who might be hurt that i can think of are the advertisers whose products show up on the local channels.
And thats not such a big deal. Because the intended audience is probably still going to watch the local channels for there area.

Fanfic, while a good amount of it is absolute crap, can be some of the best writing out there, i've spent countless hours reading the storys told by the eyrie productions group, i've enjoyed fanfici've found on the internet better than the original plots sometimes. but the best thing about fanfic is that you can never ever pay for it, it's sorta like open source creativity. if you pay for fanfic, and it's not a printing fee, it's not right, as long as nobody makes money on it it remains perfect in my opinion. The Best fanfic i've ever read is from

please excuse the spelling and grammer if i were to spend the time correcting it i'd never write anything at all.
But really, come on too late? More likly too early. How many people do you know that need a phone service that spans the globe... nice to be able to say "I can go anywhere with my iridium" But Damnit it's not cost effective. Covering the globe was a noble ambition but well before it's time, I mean really did they think there was 1,000,000 business men out there to buy their service?
Don't get me wrong I think something constructive to benifit our planet's Scientific knowledgebase should be done with the sats. oh yeah... our we need a planetwide Knowledge base.. Keep dreaming. Please Excuse the gramatical and spelling errors. but proof reading your own work sucks.
There is a working Pneumatic Tube System in a Nuclear Test Facility in chalk river ontario canada, I saw and asked about it on a school tour, I managed to get a demonstartion, the building also contains a working Nuclear reactor used for scientific research. (That was around a year ago.)

Sounds like a great opportunity to harness the energy potential. this could very well be useful.
