  1. Re:Do universities actually need this? on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    no
    a central source for your lecture is needed

    p2p from some random people on campus is not the way. i for one, would modify your powerpoint files...just to piss people off. the source cant be trusted

  2. Re:Not feasible on Kazaa Backs Plan To Bill P2P Music Transfers · · Score: 1

    Theres nothing intellectual about Dickens ;)

  3. Re:Kernel Sanders on What Will Be in Linux 2.7? · · Score: 1

    ugly? you click a check box...

    granted its harder than ms, but thats because it is customizable and ms isnt technically.

    an average user wont be modifying the kernel...look at ms..the kernel isnt modified.its a huge hunk of everything.

  4. Re:What we really need... on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 1

    if you buy a retail phone it will be unlocked

    the phones you get for free are carrier locked cause the carrier is picking up the tab in hopes you will stay a customer and make it up in use

    its not a hard concept ;)

    phones arent really 50$, try 500$

  5. Re:Dollar bill forgeries on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    doubtful

    the us cycles currency already but would never issue a recall or redeemal. counterfeiting one dollar bills is not profitable, not really common and so anticounterfeiting for a one dollar bill is not needed.

  6. Re:I fear this is too late on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 5, Insightful

    umm
    apple is launching this *now*, the others arent even close to ready.

    apple has an existing library and successful delivery mechanism already. a windows client was all that was needed.

    i fear you are clueless

    the recall was on the front page of the business section of my newspaper

  16. Re:New Ugly Duckling on Nokia 7600 All-in-One Phone · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You need to buy the Nokia headset, nokia did not conform to the bluetooth headset specs.

    The 3650 isnt really ugly...its shaped like a normal celly and really the only unorthodox thing is the keypad, which doesn't take much to get used to and is actually good for typing with t9.

    Its larger than average cell phones but not larger than ones of the past. I went from a Mitsubishi t250 to the 3650 and the nokia was lighter.

    And...the beauty of gsm is the sim card. just buy a smaller more compact 'normal' phone for the times you just need that.

  17. Re:Kids today on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    Children aren't dumb. Children are very logical, concrete thinkers. Abstract reasoning can escape them so they tend not to fall into the jaded mindset that adults do. This is why you thought the vcr situation was stupid, and this is why most children won't respond to these anti-filesharing nonesense either.

    Children can be 1000x more insightful than adults.

  22. Re:privacy value on SBC Refuses To Name File-Sharing Users · · Score: 1

    Its about not being under an obligation to further their civil case. If they want to find their own PROOF that there are illegal copys of copyrighted works on SOMEONES harddrive, they are more than welcome to provide that. Saying well...this ip seems to be transferring files named *this*, who is that so we can sue them?

    IS BULLSHIT. It is not the ISPs responsibility nor obligation to assist the RIAA...right or wrong. What you don't seem to understand or be able to comprehend is that you need to seperate the ISPs responsibilities and rights from those of the RIAA. The RIAA can defend its copyright, but the ISP can also defend the privacy of it's customers. Which one weighs more is a question, but one that I find pretty easy....Should companies be able to search my phone records?

    There are seperate issues, you try to murk the water by combining them all in your little so-called quote. At issue here is the privacy of the individual and the obligations of the ISP, which is lacking from your little quote.

    BTW, How do you catch a file-sharer? That's what I thought.
