Yea man.. Next time your on, actually take a second and read the server message. 90% of the servers I log on to ban bots.
Of course, that doens't mean people still don't use them.. I think they just have the message there so if you're ABUSING the bots then they can boot you while they get to feel justified and rightous..
Why? Because IRC still uses centralized servers. I've never seen the RIAA mention IRC, so basically it's like a haven for people who pirate music, software, and kiddie porn (gasp!). No one is going after IRC.
Running software which claims to be non-centralized _on top of_ a centralized system is just silly! If decide they want to shut down the new service, all they have to do is go after the IRC servers. And you know that when it came down to it, the people who run the IRC servers would buckle in a minute.
So.. If you use IRC to trade files on a regular basis, I wouldn't be supporting this idea.
A great way of putting it! I hear people say all the time that we should get rid of it, but they don't -really- know why it's there. Thanks for the post.

You shouldn't mod someone down because he wasn't funny enough to make you laugh. Lighten up!
Let's see yours then, coward.

I was thinking the same thing... In fact, I
just posted a reply saying pretty much the same
exact thing.
IRC is and will always be the best way. No one
in the media ever mentions it! It's like the internet
used to be..
moo

Just a thought..

Sir,
That was rude, obnoxious, arrogant and just dripping with sarcasm. Please keep it up.

Hmm.. Might need a heatsink there...

That'll teach you to buy an obsolete motherboard, now won't it?
Not quite idiot
What are they gonna do? Sue you?
My pants just got tighter.
There's a few of them in the Raleigh-Durham area. They're advertised on the radio all the time.

Yes, I believe I can die now. ACK!
I hereby leave my keyboard to the king of chedder, cmdrtaco. cough.
Hmm... Somehow, I just don't think so.
Finally, those all-nighter DOOM sessions will pay off! Grab 'yer shotgun boys, we're gonna nuke these puppies! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
See subject. And yes, I -am- a clueless bastard. ;)
OOh, in a motherboard manual. Than it MUST be true!
Yea man, chips are getting cheap. The differance between Intel and AMD CPU's is getting closer and closer.
According to Anand, the Duron 750 beats the 850 celeron. The Celeron 850 barely beats the Duron 700. I'd rather have the Duron.
Wasn't CompUsa selling white box PC's for a while, under their own name? That may have been what he was referring to.
